Here it is, song number 14! I did it; fourteen entirely new songs in 28 days. Trying to make some connections at the end of this whole thing, I though about how I'm also 28 years old and how it would be nice to write a song to my 14 year old self. For an additional constraint, I made it 140 seconds long. Here it is:
fourteen28
Your best friend's gone away,
No one's got your back.
Seeing red in this world of grey,
Your mind black.
But know this now, you're on the cusp,
Your light's about to shine.
You'll get high on this and get drunk with lust,
Just bide your time.
Hey, it's OK.
Trust me, you don't have long to wait.
Play, seize the day,
You're fourteen now but you'll soon be twenty-eight,
So get out there.
Don't wish your life away,
Don't let your dreams escape,
The best it yet to come.
Don't let your heart grow cold,
Don't let your grow old,
Now go have some fun.
Take some care of that head of hair,
And learn to love those curls.
If the girls don't speak to you,
Go speak to the girls.
Don't be scared to make mistakes,
They're the only way you'll learn.
Trust me, you've got what it takes,
But self respect is earned.
