Tiny feet in wet sand...

Look up
Look up
Don’t be afraid
We all do
In a different way!

Look up look up
You are so tiny
I am standing on a mountain
Are you still breathing?
Look up look up
Don’t give up
You are still growing
Among ants and reptiles.
Look up Look up
Where are you?
I can’t find
In a crowd of two.
Look up Look up
Don’t be shy
We all love you
But you still need a mic.
Look up Look up
That guy is cute
Can you see his face?
Go read some books.
Look up Look up
Being shorter helps
I lost a pin
Would you find it, please?
Look up Look up
I got a hair cut
Can you still hear me?
Oh! stand on a stool.

Look up Look up
Why hide away in bushes?
Let us sit on a chair
And frame us together.
Don’t be shy
Will photoshop your legs
Make you dance over the wall
Do a catwalk on the ramp.

So what if clothes don’t fit you
You are still charming
Helping us to hide our insecurities
in something you were born with.
So what if you are short
It makes you cute
Just don’t speak
It sounds so rude,
You are pretty
Be like that
A doll in the museum

For everyone else to stare at.

Let it happen...

It will happen one day
you will fail
people will talk
you will cry
there will be more whispers,
It will happen one day.
You will be afraid
coz’ you were strong
you will be sad
coz’ you were happy
It will happen one day,
you would like to grow
yet feel stuck in that moment
you will want to fly
yet your wings would refuse
It will happen
It all will happen one day,
you would be judged
for the way you appear,
you would be embarrased
about the way you kissed,
they will make fun
of the way you smell,
It will all happen one day.

The time you lost as a teenager
you would want it back
the time you spent making memories
you would long for that
It will happen
It all will happen one day.
But look at the world outside you
the singing birds and the roaring tides
the blinding dawn to the dusky night
the beautiful kids and the rustling streets
everything talks to your inner being
everything reminds you of one thing.
Let everything happen to you
Let every negativity cast a spell on you
Let people take advantage of you
Let people call you names,
you will shine brighter from that day,

coz’ It will all happen one day!
