I wish you could understand
that perhaps the world
is not so big and scary
as it seems to you now;
You, my dear,
are small.
You have not yet found your voice,
you have not yet discovered
all the Earth has to offer you.
There is so much more
than this,
So much more
than a young boy
who listens to your favorite band;
So much more
than algebra tests
on muggy thursday afternoons.
So much more to discover,
if you'd have just stuck around.
