A man
Grown up
Met a girl
Growing up
Her eyes like a broken tap
Leaking forever..
All she had done
Was a simple mistake.

He asked,
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm scared
Of growing up.
Why
I fear I might,
Make more mistakes..
I fear that
If I fall,
I won't rise.
And if I rise,
I will fall again!

"But if you can fall again
You can still rise again,right?"
No, I can't
You can!
I can't
why can't you?
Because I know
If am to fall again,
Why rise anyway?

Listen little girl,
If everyone was beautiful,
If everything was to be right,
Why the word "ugly" anyway?
Why the word "wrong" anyway?

No ugliness,
Means no beauty.
No mistakes,
Means no perfection.
No man,
means no woman.
I tell you little girl,
For every right
You are praised.
And for every mistake
You are blamed.
But u learn!
So which do u prefer?
Its praise right?
But which do u need?
Its the lesson right?
With every mistake
You learn
You grow up!

I don't know anything
All I know is that
I want everyone happy.

And who said
You were born a comedian
To make everyone happy?
I just feel that
I have to...

But do they do the same To you?
Not at all.
Then why bother
"Return" a favour
Not given to you?

No risk
No gain!
Fear mistakes
You won't grow up!
And when you grow up,
You will make more mistakes!

But mister
Why do you know much?
"The reason I know much
Is because I have made
Many mistakes.
I have had
Many failures.

Oh now I see
The biggest mistake
Is to be afraid of
Making one.
In other words,
its Action,
Correction
And perfection.

And they both parted
Satisfied with life!
