In my youth

Up or down?

Smile or frown?

Front or back?

Should I eat a snack?

Right or left?

Is this too big to heft?

Under or over?

Faster or slower?

Which way do I go?

Just go with the flow?

No matter; it will be wrong.

Was I this way in my youth?

This or that?

Blue or black. 

Soft or hard?

Bought or *bard?

Drink or thirst?

Empty or burst?

Out with the old?

Not really sold

on something new. 

Decision remorse makes me blue.

No matter, it will be wrong.

Was I this way in my youth?

This could not be the truth?

Make a decision, right or wrong. 

In your knowledge, be strong?

Don’t analyze it seven ways to Sunday.

You did it. The truth will come out on Monday. 

Hind sight is 20/20.

Errors in life are ah-plenty. 

Right or wrong. It’s always the same song. 

No matter, it will be wrong. 

Was I this way in my youth?

*Bard is country for borrowed.

    1. I’ve did the reverse. I feel like didn’t give a poop until I became an adult. With the admission that my childhood is like The Abyss. Then you get that first job, it’s all; look the part. Act the part. Do this. Don’t do that. Everything you’ve been taught doesn’t work in the real world. 90% of what you think you know is wrong.
