I was you

You are smaller, yet I was you

Whenever you look into the mirror, it is me

Well, it will be me

 I know you are looking forward to grow

An ecstatic child wanting tomorrow

But kid, let me tell you this

What lies ahead will not be just bliss

 No enemies will understand you in your joyance

No friends will tolerate you in your silence

You will lose, you will gain

With that, you’ll learn about pain

 And kid, I’ll tell you

Just do whatever you want to do

Do not be afraid of a broken heart

For there are no unbroken hearts

 Be different, if that’s what you like

It won’t make you less if you are on the other side

Be a phoenix in a cage full of butterflies

Be the person your heart desires

 You are not yet done

That makes us one

Hold onto that rail

It will be an unending sail

 My dear, I know you will make it through

For you have something to pursue

For you have a latter life to view
