Yesterday

If I could guide the younger me I'd encourage her to just be free Not to worry of her size Or wishing that she had blue eyes I'd let her know that's it's OK To be herself in any way To enter rooms with head held high Not keep her gaze down or be too shy Smile a lot and speak with pride Not say nothing or try to hide You're young, you're funny, pretty too Yet no one really knows but you Live life well and enjoy yourself Don't stay at home or sit on a shelf Sing out loud and laugh all day Before your dreams are of yesterday
