Just Fade Away

Where are you going my fine young friend

The path that you follow has come to an end

Your journey continues but which way to go

So many choices but only you know


The world that we live in moves quickly you see

Make your decisions or just cease to be

For death comes to quickly for those who stand still

So follow your dreams accomplish at will


So many voices will echo the way

And so many listen the words they say

And those that deny will squander the day

And slowly but surely just fade away


Where are you going my fine young friend

The honor of ages are left to defend

A trendy yet subtle approach to the day

And when you speak they will hear what you say


For age does not maturity make

The wisdom of years have all been a fake

For wisdom won’t come with the number of years

But how will you stop and open your ears


So many voices will echo the way

And so many listen the words that they say

And those that deny will squander the day

And slowly but surely just fade away


So where are you going my fine young friend

Funny how I seem to be reading my own thoughts as I read this...

Yet I still do not know.

I want to thank you for the wonderful comment that you left on my Bubble Wrap Society post. You pointed out that different lives dictate different avenues and I agree completely, being one who has traveled down many a different avenue. Sometimes I get so caught up in my thoughts, that I leave very important details out.
Your poetry is amazing and the blog, wonderful - thank you!
