They don’t tell you to grow older,
unless you feel younger
They don’t tell you how to live,
until you’re barely living
No body tells you how put it all back together,
until you are the one who is in pieces
Those pieces—no one knows how to fix,
Only through pain and suffering do you know where to put the glue,
Only through experience do you know how to grow
Because only someone like you knows that you may grow older,
but on the inside—you are a butterfly,
Like metamorphosis, you are different now
You are not the same as before
Why worry about the future?
Why not be younger now?
