youth

Hope shines bright
in the drug store
sunglass glare
of morning,
and opportunity is
limitless when
the weight of obligation
doesn't exist.

this seemed so much better in my head. I feel as if it got a bit lost in translation.

I like how the sunglasses suggest that youth is cheap yet the last lines lend a feeling of yearning for it. This seems to say that we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone and one thing we all lose is our youth like a cheap pair of sunglasses. Strong stuff!
