Going Up
We grow
We grew!
The young become older
The new become young
We learned, we cried, we joyed
Tick-tock
Gone
The now becomes the past
The past becomes forgotten
We grow
We grew
We found.
Ourself
Our pain, our pleasure, our need
The wants.
How do I look?
How do I dress?
How do I live?
We tried to learn
We did!
But the prize
The pleasure, the addiction, the attraction
Sweat, spit and burning desire
COOL OFF
Don’t be a fool
Instant release
It's not your life
It's a part,
But who are you
You are all of you
You are everything in between
Yet you risk so much in the beginning
All based in an instant.
Don’t succumb
Be so strong
