  harrowing, to contemplate
  this is a reality, a voice
  for far too many..
  love the matter of fact, bravery
  poetry, distilled raw
  so even the most ignorant
  can hear it, once and for all!
  a poignant read, thanks for sharing
  'smells like teen spirit'
  Kurt would be proud, I think
  (sing your Truth, chase your dreams
  but don't admire, that category
  of adulthood
  cherish youth, suck it dry of all its got to offer
  like a perfectly blossomed strawberry
  embrace your fury, build a furnace
  and let your lava, drip
  on every blank canvas, you bravely
  mould to your will
  cherish youth, forget about earning
  affirmation or respect
  from other people's eyes
  seek, validation
  first and foremost, from those eyes
  in the mirror, that know you best
  cherish youth, utilise it in each heartbreak
  or unrealised dream, let your unshed tears
  water your life's garden of solace
  learn to smile at strife
  and cough out your hurt
  never, repress it
  and maybe, hopefully
  you'll go-on to live one of those lives
  Poet's write about...!
  cherish your youth, for soon
  it will be too far, to reach for
  even beyond, reverie's blinks)
