I'm a teenager and I forgot that I do not need to plan my life out right now.
I have yet to see the world or meet new people.
I haven’t drank and danced on the streets
I haven’t really felt my heart feel free.
I've felt my heart feel heavy and carry fear and uncertainty.
It’s carried hate and dislike for myself
And I think I’m finally going to love myself all the way and all of the time
not half way and some of the time.
And I’m going to meet new people and go to these places.
Absorb my surroundings and just breath.
Drink tea and read keep my mind open
so I can learn and grow but not to be attached to anything
And let my words flow and be more care free
because its okay to not know because we are young.
So kiss that guy and hug that girl that smells like vanilla
Smoke your cigarette and sleep on the grass.
Just do whatever before your heart gets old
and your mind grows tired.
