Take seriously all these kids who write, <br />classified ' with the 'Crazy dreamers' <br />soaking up perception, tasting fresh new fights. <br />You had to remember <br />What's a boundary to a wondering schemer? <br />After all, put the words there <br />and follows an itch to string them into insight. <br />And, I got to laugh and listen with a stare <br />assenting with the opinion and the wisdom <br />of those who have 'lived' and survived the generations' plight. <br /> <br />Because my youth is recognizable <br />And my intelligence is manageable (education is an adding sum) . <br />But poetry... <br />why would it be any less than yours? <br />Because as the years pass, you learn different lessons <br />in simpler times. <br />And I may keep my passion and capricious nature. <br />You listened when the world chimed, <br />told you to cool off, that the colors should be a blur. <br /> <br />As for me, <br />I'm young. <br />I want to be passionate; I will stay bold <br />I want brightness that can be seen. <br />And in my words, a unbiased smile your mouth can't help but hold. <br />Keep the 'you' in young, <br />it's there for a reason. <br />Why should you patronize and condescend? <br />Keep your training wheels on, you'll need them in any season.<br /><br />Delilah Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kids-who-write/
