Coming of Age
Don't you ever doubt yourself
don't you ever allow the putrid glances you receive from others
ever dictate the person you are
or the person you will become,
open up your hands
and turn them towards the sky
one day you will receive a gift worth much more than your soul
but you'll have to suffer a few rainy days
before you realize it's true worth.
For a minute,
you'll wonder if the world is your enemy
and you'll hate people
but just wait
sometimes it takes a while before people can open their eyes
and finally see you
and stop bumping into your confidence
as it withers away.
One day,
you and I will reach Nirvana together,
I will hold your hand
so don't be scared to grow up
don't be afraid of dying
because life isn't the end-all-be-all
it's just a big ass obstacle we'll all get over
but never be able to tell anyone about.
