Youth

but for some reason the youth

resent theirs

whining

and clawing at imagined chains

pleading

entreating

that obedience is a curse

when really the alternative

is a state thousands worse

child

be content!

this is the best it will ever get.

don't waste your chance to have

little to none responsibility

don't spend your childhood

considering what you will do instead

but enjoy it while it lasts

innocence

ignorance

are not curses

but blessings in disguise

do not long for tomorrow

while there is so much left to do
