Dedicated to Stephan Chbosky who wrote the most amazing book.


Going up, growing out

Everything is changing

Everything is different

Than it used to be

You just want to find

Where you stand in

This tiny little world

Where Supermodels tell you

How to eat

Actors tell you how to act

Actresses tell you what to wear

And magazines tell you

All of it

But somehow

Tell it wrong

Where your parents

Are demons who

You wish to tame

Where your friends

Are there to tell

The world your secrets

Wish you asked them nicely

Not to tell

At the sleepover at your house.

Where your crush

Doesn’t know your name

But loves you as a friend

Where your siblings

Couldn’t be more annoying

Couldn’t be more dumb

Where your life

You wish could just go away

So you could fly away

And never see this world again

Where your wings

That you dream about having

Are super glued to your hero's back

but not even taped to yours

Where your heart

Is worn on your sleeve

For all the world to tear

Where your mind

Is consuming

Everything you hear

And everything you love.

Where Your Life is changing

without you there for the ride.
