Youth

When am I gonna break through? I’m waiting for some kind of fame. There is some intense warmth out there. Some recognition. Love, I think. I feel that something big is right around the corner. Anticipation. I feel funny. I’m waiting for something to click. Recognition. Love. I don’t know.

Does every kid feel this anxiety going into manhood? I’m 17. I don’t want to grow up, really. I love youth. I’ve gotten so much from it. Youth is soft. Eye widening fascination. Discovery of the pain and the happy. Youth is having lots of time on hand and long summer vacations. Youth is seeing and believing. Youth is preparation.

I hope youth is not the vacation from life! I never want to stop being fascinated. I never ever want to not be heard!
