Do you know
Do you know what it’s like
to feel lost?
Like a ship in the sea
caught in the midst of a storm
with no way to navigate home?
Do you know it’s like
do be so certain you were doing the right thing
following the right path,
only to have it cut off at a dead end
With nowhere left to return to?
Do you know what it’s like
to want something so badly
that you would do anything to achieve it?
To want to pay the price to win the prize
only to lose it along the way?
Do you know what it’s like
to fall in love?
And have none of the bad things matter anymore?
Because you found that one person
that knows how to make it all okay?
Do you know what it’s like
to pick yourself up off rock bottom?
To dust yourself off
and forge a new path to follow?
Do you know what it’s like
to want to give up?
But continue one anyways?
If you know what that’s like,
then you know how it feels
to grow up.
