I Won't Let My Gold Fade

Inspired by Robert Frost's Poem Nothing Gold Can Stay

Frost wrote nothing gold can stay,

If you don't let life beat that out,

Growing into a childish adult before it's too late,

becomes what comedy and love are all about.

Scratched up dvd's and an old TV,

Picking up an instrument like you're 17,

Guitar glares as shit 20 I will be,

By next month no more talking to myself so mean.

Nothing gold can stay 

Not even teenage years 

Not even a one week crush 

But I'll stay gold when glimmer starts to fade. 

Refined by pressure, strengthened by lessons.

I'll stay gold, if I'm the only one left.

The world needs that. I hope.
