The Call Of Youth

It’s just so sad

So we pretend

That this right here

It not the end

That all the songs

Of which we hear

Are not predicting

What is near

And you and I

Will always be

That I to you

And you to me

But every dawn

To every dusk

My dreams do tell me

What I must

So this is why

I pack my things

And answer to

The bell that rings

‘Cause ever since

I was a lass

I knew this norm

Would never last

And I felt ghosts

And fogs and mists

Like silver backs

Within the midst

Just like a voice

It spoke to me

And told me what

I had to be

I saw the truth

Within my peers

I faced the lies

I faced my fears

And even though

I still get scared

I’ve given time

To be prepared

Yes, we will cry

I don’t make sense

But I must live

In present tense

And what my heart

Is telling me

Is, “Walk on through,

It’s time to leave.”

So this is me

I’ll never stay

It really seems

I’m born this way

But I will love you

All my days

Within my sparse

And flighty ways

Good bye

Good bye

I have to go

And be what I

Have always known
