I have words to share
To my younger self
He wouldn't want to hear
What my mouth bears
The rocks on my shoulders
Get heavier by growth
It's like the more I see
My eyes start to bleed
The colour of my tears
Are not the same ones you know
Yours came to teach responsibility
Mine came from connection disability
The cousins you danced in the rain with
Are tackling life to achieve their goals
And the people you loved deep
Are now pictures floating towards a waterfall
I am still stuck where you left me
Asking If maybe I was wrong
To memorise all your dreams
Because this is not what you envisioned

I have words to share
To my younger self
He wouldn't want to hear
What my mouth bears
The rocks on my shoulders
Get heavier by growth
It's like the more I see
My eyes start to bleed
The colour of my tears
Are not the same ones you know
Yours came to teach responsibility
Mine came from connection disability
The cousins you danced in the rain with
Are tackling life to achieve their goals
And the people you loved deep
Are now pictures floating towards a waterfall
I am still stuck where you left me
Asking If maybe I was wrong
To memorise all your dreams
Because this is not what you envisioned
