When I grew up,

I found out...

Not all stars shine in the sky,

Some walk the same roads as me,

But some stars die,

And then they’re set free.

When I grew up,

I found out...

It’s not just the sun that shines,

It’s also what matters most to you,

And if you find that person who’s kind,

You’ll always see your way through.

When I grew up,

I found out...

That when your heart aches,

It’s not always because you’re ill,

It can be someone who makes,

You feel only half filled.

When I grew up,

I found out...

I’m not on my own,

There will always be,

Something there,

To help me see.

When I grew up,

I found out...

My brain keeps getting bigger,

 Depending on emotions alone,

But all it takes is a trigger,

To make my head explode.

When I grew up,

I found out...

That every day the world will change,

It gets bigger and smaller,

Which is rather strange,

Yet it gets crueller.

When I grew up,

I found out...

When you can’t breathe,

A lot of the time it has nothing to do with air,

It’s sometimes when you seethe,

But you will always repair.

When I grew up,

I found out...

Memories live on,

Weather through paper or head,

They are never gone,

Even if they are as tiny as thread.

When I grew up,

I found out...

You don’t get to live forever,

Yet I don’t want to die,

But you can always be whoever,

Flying through the sky.
