Young Once

A poem by Chicken

Darling, we were young once,

Young, and bold and bright,

Feet on the dashboard of Dad’s old truck,

Flying our spirits out the window,

Living just by luck

Darling, we were young once,

Young, and brave and free,

Living it out in our small, dusty towns,

The world was a circus,

We were its clowns,

Darling, we were young once,

Young, and fiery and reckless,

Outsiders, rebels, rejects- we were all the same,

Waving our pride in their faces,

Outrunning Life’s game,

Darling, we were young once,

Young, and hopeful and pure,

Living with faith that life held some good,

Trying like fools to change the world,

Fighting what we could,

Darling, we were young once,

They say ignorance is bliss,

We wore our bleeding hearts on our sleeves,

Bright golden souls hidden inside,

Hopeful and naïve,

Darling, when you find yourself,

Swimming in worldly troubles,

Hopeless, helpless, wrapped around weariness’s thumb,

Darling, you’ll look back and say,

I wish I was young.
