Lotus, let your petals fall,
One by one until you loose them all.

Butterfly, waste your ten days of life
Do not migrate, don’t try to thrive.

Bird, don’t fly, don’t dare to try
To reach for the vast open sky.
Stay nearby, please abide.

Child, don’t grow, don’t seek to know
What will happen if you let go
Just a little of that rope.

One that so tight you hold
Why are you taking their hope
To be better, to break the mold?

Let them be better than you

Let them fall and rise,
Let them win and loose

You did you
Let them
Beat you.
