This is the springtime of your life. Don't let it go to waste. Enjoy it. / Does that mean do crazy? Does that mean do whatever I want? Does that mean take advantage of My independence till it's gone? Does it mean drink a lot? Does it mean do drugs? Does it mean charm women, Seeking approval, chasing hugs? Does it mean being lazy? Should I chill and lay back Until I work hard a couple decades, Die later from heart attack? Does it mean act reckless? Is it yolo swag **** everything else? Form a youthful reckless checklist Do what I want, never help? Should I follow my heart, Even if it's a lustful disaster? People who have the most fun, Are they now my masters? Do I follow them? Do I go out and party? Is it safe? Should I black out every other night? Hardly. Is it do what I think is best? Is that really fun? Grades and help for everyone else, Continuing from where I'd begun. Is it autopilot? Is that what I keep maintaining? Do I ask a ton of questions? My intellect, always straining? Does that count? Does that make it count? If I overthink everything, Can my happiness reach an amount Where I look back, look down Sit upon a couch And say, **** that was fun Time to retire and sell out To the American Adult dream Slowly crawling to the grave At least I had fun then, At least by memories, I'm saved. I caved, I lost it, I'm not a normal college kid. I'm on a ride, on my mind, In my life, but listen, It's a blast, it ***** All of the wasted contemplating But it beats blacking out, Complaining, rebelling, and hating. Here I am, patient Looking forward to dating. Self-centered, prideful, Centralized around mating. And it's cool, not bad, I'll still grow up and look back, "This is the springtime of your life. Do what you want, no going back."
