Truth
I once thought I could live forever young
Spend my life looking up into the clouds
Finding the shapes I lived for
I once thought nothing could happen
I was happy
And everyone was healthy
I once thought I could live forever young
Spend my years chasing my dreams
Helping the people I love
I once though I was happy
I would get cuts and scrapes
But I would get up and move on
Now I know the truth
I’m not ten anymore
My life crashed in a heart beat
Cuts and scrapes can’t compare to any of this
Cuts and scrapes are loved
Because I know they will go away
I once thought I would live forever young
Not as a vampire or something
But as me
Now I know the truth
I will not live forever
I will not see every shape form of the clouds
I will not find the answer to all the mysteries of why this happened
I will never be anything but me
I will not live forever
But I will set legacies
Leave behind a path less followed
One day I will be gone
But I hope you will remember.
