keep the kid alive :D

--

why be sad and depressed
or minimalist and zen
or trendy and fake
if you can be flowery
if you can be real
if you can be beautifully cringe
if you can make others laugh and yourself

why think its for kids
or that people wont want to talk
why think youve moved on
when you can think excitement and fun

why be suicidal and dark
or mean and harsh
why be horribly sad
or be immensely mad

why not be filled with glee,
why not be bursting with excitement,
why not want to see it all,
why not want others to be your friend

do you want to be old
and while looking back
see nothing but clichés and brands
or do you want to grow old
with all your friends?

grow up, but dont grow out the kid
keep the kid in you.
