The Expectations of Youth

"Live," they tell me. "Live!" I'm "still so young," they say.
I'm old enough to see that death is not so far away...

"Young," they tell me. "Young!" "There's much you still don't know"
And yet I've seen so many things that they still do not know.

"Learn," they tell me. "Learn!" For they are far more wise.
And I would not object if they did not believe in lies.

Still
"Live," they tell me. "Live?" I try, but when I do
The weathered men and women say, "That isn't good for you."

Author notes

Yes, I know it is pathetic.
