Nineteen

There are some times in life

When I’m reminded

Of when I was 19

When I was so young and naïve

Didn’t listen

Didn’t believe

Some times I am reminded of life

When I was nineteen

Just like when I didn’t know

How life

Could be so cruel or mean

Just like what the boys used to say

To keep the girls so keen

Some times I am reminded of life

 When I was nineteen

Just like so many years before

When life was once so serene

Just like when I remember

Before I was nineteen
