They say.


Write your story, they say,

Define your path.

Make all your choices, they say,

And choose them right.

 

Go be a teenager, they yell,

Go on have fun!

Go dance in the rain, they yell,

but don’t get wet!

 

Seeds and soil they give you,

With a week for the flower to grow.

Only one thing they have forgotten;

The water.
