Reading this reminds me that even an 8 year old can look back and think about how mature and even old they thought they were at 5 years. Perhaps this is a universal
of some kind in the human mind. We are always also hoping to be younger, and older persons always seem ancient.

Comment from RGstar
Very true, Doug. When young, the world is our oyster where age or the undefined do not come into question. Hope is initiated by possible, and realizations are often far from the truth.
Sensible write. I liked it.
My best wishes.

Comment from Janet Foor
Smiling! This is a well written poem. I have three teenage grandsons and while they are great kids, they have their rebellious side. I'm so happy they are grandsons and and go back to their parents to deal with their rebellious side.
Well done.
Blessings

Comment from Winslow
Dear Victor,
Once a rebel always a rebel, don't tell me how to live. Chaos is my middle name and that's me to the core. At least this is what your poem says to me. The use of shit jarred me at the end. If I were you I would remove it. Be a rebel yes but use of throwing profanity in does nothing to promote your rebellion. (LOL)
Happy Valentines Day,
Winslow

Doug,
Bravo to you!!! what is it about hope??? springs eternal..
Yes, hope as in the sense you speak here does not exist in the vocabulary or thoughts of youth.
with age brings a cherished wisdom and hopefully a determination to not be reticent or unsure of reaching out for our dreams..

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem. No teenager likes to be told what they may or may not do. It is a rebellious stage where they try to find and know themselves in a very crazy world for them.

Comment from Liberty Justice
Seems writer does not like
restrictions probably because likes to make own
decisions. Claims hope is not just for youth but for older persons to have hope also. Nicely
done. liberty justice

Comment from Dean Kuch
Who are any of us to try and tell anyone to stop living, Doug?
Age is our greatest ally while we are still young and in our prime.
But just as Adolf Hitler did when he reneged on his alliance with the Soviet Union during WWII, it later becomes are most feared adversary.
Nice contemporary write.
