Too Old and Too Young
Too old to go back to what I was
Too young to grow up completely
Too old to count as a child
Too young to be admitted to adulthood
Too old for my age
Too young for the things I have seen
Indeed,
I have often wondered why we
Saw the craft
Saw Elfangor
Saw it all
Too old to turn away
Too old to fight and stay
Too old to cling to what I once believed
Too young to let go
Too old to stop
Too young to keep going
So what can I do?
Too old to do this
Too young to do that
I am torn
I . . . am lost
Nowhere to go
Do I fight or run?
Too old to run
Too young to fight
I cannot fight the Yeerks
Yet I cannot let it pass
Slip out of my fingers as Earth's fate floats away
Was it decreed by fate?
Am I doomed to live this life?
And now I see what I must do
I see what u an
I see that
What I am
I am only a weak, poor, hapless young creature
Trapped by fate
In a diamond cage
Too old to stay young
Too young to be old
