Whenever someone asks me
"what have you learnt in life?"
I always give them the same answer
"Ask me in ten years"
Ask me when I've lived enough
And have learned enough to share
Ask me when I'm not fifteen
And heartbroken over the silliest of things
When I'm not constantly shifting between loving myself
And hating myself
When I'm not uncomfortable being myself
And not comfortable being invisible
Ask me when I'm not fifteen
For fifteen Is when you laugh
And dance and sing and fly.
So ask me in ten years
And  I'll have lived enough
And learned enough
*to share
