So Old for One So Young

[Avatre]

So Old for One so Young

I'm so young
My heart's never been broken
By true love
So inexperienced that
Everyday things are new
My eyes still fill with wonder
At the moon and the stars
In the dark of the night

I'm so young
I still sleep with my teddy bear
So ignorant
I believe in a good day
I still enjoy watching the sunrise
And smile, hearing the birds sing
At the rise of the sun

I'm so old
My heart is weary
So tired
Of life's endless drama
The world is changing before me
As I watch, unable to join

I'm so old
I'm full of wisdom
A lifetime's worth of thoughts
Crammed into 13 years
I should not know such sorrow
I should not know such pain

When you look at me
What do you see?
A fresh, bright person?
Or someone so weary?

For I am both
And also neither
Forever ignorant
And infinitely wiser

I like the double sided truth of this. Very nice.

i really like this piece...and i can connect with it...somedays everything seems so fresh, so real, so good, but most of the time, things seem to be so fake...great job!

The loss of innocence, the death of childhood and the weight of
the world makes one weary indeed...a very moving piece...

It's me agian, the one that reads the back of the book first *S* ... I enjoyed this poem. I wrote one like it when I was much younger. I seldom tell people my age because it has a habit of scaring people away. An old fool I is *L*... The feelings you had when writing this poem, pray they never leave. Even after you have a broken heart many times over, you will still be to young to understand and to old to want more. But one thing I can say very easy, for one yooung in years, you have years of talent in your written words. Life may be full of ups and downs, hold on to your writing as strong as you can, it helps and you do it so very well.
