Space
Life........
I beg of you to give me some space,
The veil in which you clothed me suffocates,
Experience is said to be the best teacher-life,
Forgive my naivety,
Forgive my mediocrity in fighting your children,
You give but also take,
I plead-don't be reckless with me,
For I am a young soul in your playground,
This soul is so pure,yet not pure,
"Young heart don't be afraid" "I'll be there for you" "I'll guide you"
Give me some space,
Brave but fragile soul I am,
Don't let your children break me, don't let them break me,
"Young heart don't be afraid" "I'll be there for you" "I'll guide you" ,
Growing up with you is a sweet burden,
A burden I can't undeniably run from,
Weights on my glass shoulders,
"Young heart don't be afraid" "I'll be there for you" "I'll guide you" ,
Life.......
I beg of you to give me some space,
The veil in which you clothed me suffocates,
I'm experiencing you,
Indeed you are a teacher,
Forgive my naivety,
Give me strength to fight your children,
Give me,
Please don't take from me,
"My selfish thoughts are pleading" ,
Don't be reckless with me,
I am a young heart,
Brave but fragile,
Pure,yet not pure.
