A kid I know

There once was a bright, young kid

Who always wanted to know things no one ever did

He grew up too fast, as his kid sadly do,.

And woke upon a day...something entirely new.

He realized his purpose, still confused like the rest,

But he could do one thing right; he would do it well until he was laid down to rest.

He tried to love, only to come crashing down hard

And now he is trying to inspire others like a bard,

He listens to music whilst staring out the window

Wondering when the world will break out of this horrid trance.

He has no fear of death, because he learned to appreciate life.

He is passionate for the stars above and the words written in between.

So now he will wake up tomorrow in the same, simple body

But his mind has changed enough for him to know 

That all good things must come to an end, you know?
