Birds flying high you know I feel, sun in the sky you know how I feel
As young as you are, you’ve seen so much

Been so naive, to the point where you’ve lost your innocence

Cried many of nights because you’re exhausted from the scars that life has scraped you with

Disgusted with the constant nausea from the elders telling you you’re growing up to fast “slow down” but in the same breath exhaling that you’re to young to know what life is

Even though you’re eyes have seen a thousand stories
along with your

Fingers worked to the bone while still having to disguise your unruly hangnails to remain civilized to society

Good thing is though, this doesn’t have to last

Happiness comes from within and misery loves company

In the now you may feel like you’re stumbling, climbing an endless latter or that you have no existence

Just because you’re still in the process of writing your story doesn’t mean you have to stop at the 10th chapter

Kindness will keep you sane and help you realize that there are ton of people in the same genre as you

Later in life you’ll notice that history & generations repeat themselves

Make lemons into lemonade, maybe mix it up & throw a pineapple in there

Never the less be spontaneous

Occasionally you’re fruit may ripe or turn sour but that’s okay take it minute by minute sometimes hour by hour

People change and that’s okay, change is good
you grow to learn not only to age

Quietly you may weep causing you to second guess yourself

Rest assured your tears will dry aiding you to understand that it’s actually okay to cry

Smile even if you gotta fake it because as cliche as it sounds life really is what you make it

Times will get hard; money will be short but as soon as you learn that the world is yours money maybe your last resort

Understand that some people may say you’re too positive oh well can’t please everyone some peace is better than none

Visit your friends connect with your loved ones

Why waste your time being lonely even if you’re comfortable with it the best times can come from yourself but along with some people in it too

Remember you may be thrown a curve ball but again that’s what life’s about, make your lemonade

Years from now you’re grind will pay off

Zillions of nobodies are trying to be somebodies already; realize you’re already a somebody but what can you do to make yourself happy

Now that you know it’s okay to be an acquired taste go out & see how much lemonade you can make
