Open your mind

It's this stage where we can't be stopped,

Cuz this restricting bubble has finally been popped.

What I once thought was the only way, 

Because one path was only open to me the other day. 

But there are too many choices to oversimplify, 

We often will make stereotypes—typify. 

But how wrong is it to keep our minds closed,

Like an overly beautiful picture too posed. 

All my life ahead this is just the start,

So let's start shopping for life options, come on grab a cart. 

When we only view one brand we are viewing only part of this place we call home, 

It's the time to explore, to seek answers, to roam. 

Who knows where the future will lead but this is I do know, 

Wherever the wind may blow us we shall go.

For gods plan is ours and ours is his,

While we may think we're all knowing, it's he whose the wiz. 

We can't be stopped we must explore, 

I always knew this but now it's more certain than before.

What I want I can see, 

But what I think the future holds I may never be .

For the world is a mighty place in which we all find our goal, 

We all have an important part, a significant role.

Impacting those around us or the bigger scheme, 

It all ultimately fits the same theme. 

I want to change the world, make it a better place, 

I still have time, it isn't a race.

And nows the time for my mind to wander and see, 

To learn, explore, watch, and just be.

Through this summer I've learnt a lot,

When I sang proud to be a Jew and when my family fought.

I'm still exploring and it will never end, 

Life is all a journey to grow. 

It isn't constituted of simple answers like yes and no, 

It's made up of beautiful silence and appreciation for each other, 

For loving your family, your father and mother.

It's about the moments we make and who will remember us,

So don't go to crazy or make a fuss,

If everything doesn't go right ,

Cuz that's the point, it can't always be bright.

We must introspect and find who we are,

Just look inside it isn't too far.

Love yourself and others will too,

For life's a gift to enjoy anew.
