Alive

Too young to care

Busy with living loud

Born on the wind, my youth flew by

Quickly.

"Busy with living loud"
It is good for me to read this when I was experiencing manic episodes.

As someone younger than you only by numbers, let me give you a different perspective on this; there is this lyric in a song I love very much: "Will you forgive my soul when you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?"
I guess everyone has a "not the right time to care" at any time other than RIGHT NOW.

enjoyed this sir

I believe youth should be fun and adventurous. It often flies by quickly.

[Thomas W Case]

It sure does. Thank you.

Need to apply this “living loud” to my life.
Good write, thank you.

I can relate to this piece. A large part of my mind believes I'm still seventeen, of course if I'm being honest that would be the psychotic side of my brain. A wonderful thought provoking piece, Thomas.
