Like the drug addled ramblings of a lady with 12 cats
So goes my wasted youth quickly
Without sense.
Thoughts are irrelevant; fly away, as logic serves nothing.
As the jumbled words spill from her trembling tongue
Vowels and continents clash, desperate for meaning, desperate to be.
Such is my wasted youth, uncontrolled, unprotected.
Hopes and dreams contorted till they slip
Through my fingers and slither out of reach.
I see them no more.
No one listens as the lady speaks, her actions and words trip over each other
Like chattering children with nothing to say.
So goes my wasted youth, the buzz of noise, ideas they run
Run like rats, scrambling, scuttling, searching my cerebellum depths
For what will save my pitiful soul.
Save me from the jarring nothingness,
Where echoes of my mind haunt me as happiness missed,
Show me my youth was wasted not.
Amongst the writhing jumble leftover, hope springs high
One letter is all it takes and one more after that
More accidents of the alphabet system rise
Daring to hope, daring to dream, daring to live.
As the single conscious thought the crack lady makes
So the accidents become one. One is all it takes.
So my wasted youth transforms; from stumbling, slurring
Uncertainty to strides of purpose.
The drugs drain away, the lady feels naked
What has she said or done?
When the frenzy filled fumbling of my youth is done…someone
Show me my youth was wasted not.

Yo YoungAmbition,

Most youth is wasted, unless you're a working stiff.
