Grown-Up


I would like to begin again, to start anew,

not by aiming for the many, but only the few.

I thought what I did could make me grow,

but that dream is gone, and now I have to go.

 

Because this time, my goal is very clear,

to find things and people I can hold dear.

Because this time, the people are what matter,

so that their world can glow as well.
