In This Ironic World

Every youthful mistake I made in this ironic world,
Which I recognized and was unprepared for,
Was because I wanted too much and did not strive for more,
Because I was too focused on myself, and not introspective enough,
Because I was too focused on strength to be tough,

But someday, every old man's mistake that I will make
Will be because I was unwilling or unprepared to take
The risk of being youthful.
