there's a can't in my aching

frittered away on stress
denial
and first class making
of early death
youth is gone 
to premature aging
in self-perception

at the halfway
i want the beginning
having toiled in the end through
imagination and poor lifestyle
now craving the touch
of smoother, suppler times
when life surprised with its
daily nouveau discoveries

so it lies there
the can't i can't have
an ability to remind
and yet remember
the spendthrifting
of a youth
lost to fear

Yeah, self introspection on a youth lost to worry, anxiety and fear...

the word-twisting lines that kinda serve as the skeleton of this piece--"can't in my aching"--"at the halfway I want the beginning"--"can't I can't have"--set this really interesting somehow geometric cadence that I dig.

love that title. gotta love that title. because dear god everyone knows how that feels.
