I wrote this in 2006 when I was remember the days of my youth.

Young and Dumb
My mind tries to fight
What my heart wants to write
About being young and dumb
You’d think I’ve moved on
But it doesn’t happen
And my paper is dampened
With words about being sixteen
And doing many sinful things
Getting drunk and hooking up
Was my beginner’s luck
But I still had plenty of luck
Being young and so dumb
My pen and paper will have to settle
For not knowing any better

My kids are now this age and hearing them talk takes me back to these feelings you express so well with your poem. That’s a lovely photo,
