oh, to be young
to have your whole life ahead of you
a photo album with space
and a bucket list in progress
12, 16, 24, it doesn't matter
you don't know how to change a tire
make an omelet
replace a sprinkler
read a book to your daughter
but you have forever to learn
you have forever to learn that nobody cares about that scar on your eyebrow
nobody even notices
and nobody cares about your poetry
the posters on your wall
why your last boyfriend broke up with you
or what you dreamed last night
for god's sake please don't tell us about your dream last night
tell us about your dreams
tell us how you're going to change the world with your fists closed
tell us what you see in the clouds
and keep telling us
you don't have a good voice
but keep singing
beautiful is an understatement

I want to quote this whole thing
I have a scar in my eyebrow, but I actually think it's cool, hah.
