IF I WERE YOUNG AGAIN <br /> <br />If I were young again <br />I'd still be too shy to try <br />With the girl I longed for from a distance- <br /> <br />I still would be hidden in my books <br />Unable to move much in the world - <br /> <br />I'd still be confused trying to understand it all <br />Hoping that somehow I would read my way to knowing everything- <br /> <br />If I were young again <br />I would have the same failings <br />The same hesitations - <br /> <br />I'd think I was racing ahead <br />While falling behind - <br /> <br />I'd still have my envies my lusts <br />I would still be only a small part <br />of all I hoped to be <br /> <br />I would still be my only one small self <br />in a world with so much 'somebody else'-<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-young-again-2/
