Advice for kids

in #poetry8 years ago (edited)

I wrote this to a much younger version of me. Due to problems reaching him, I'll post it here. Hope you'll enjoy. Sometime soon I will record the song that this has become with a little help from my friends @resus and @uglycasanova - and post that as well.

Hey little boy, if you're keen to learn
I'll give you some advice that I have earned
through my life so far

You have no idea what's ahead of you
but you've got dreams, that's good,
those dreams are coming true
because of you, man

And on the way...
all kinds of shit may happen to you
but a life without problems -
can you picture such a thing?
If it was like that we wouldn't even know
we were living

Stay true to yourself
don't think too much
take care of your friends
(something like that)

Stay true to yourself!
Don't drink too much
Take care of your friends
Do it like that -
and don't forget your dreams

You'll be dreaming of love
and when love is ready
it's gonna hit you heavy
don't you worry 'bout that

But never push it
Get it?

Be yourself, attract some people
reject some others, don't try to please them
just do what is right and never fight
for things you don't believe in

Stay true to yourself
Don't think too much
Take care of your friends
and remember that life never ends
until it's over
