But to be young and free is liberating and painless.
I feel weightless in the wind, on a harsh cold night,
because I know there is sun waiting for me tomorrow.
Treat me to a beautiful first night,
as I have now graduated. It is a new start. Not really just the same.
You are the same as I,
ordinary,
not particularly unique.
But there is something odd about you,
about me,
that I can see and that you can see,
even if it is invisible to everyone else.
To the naked eye.
To someone indifferent to our sufferings.
We are at the edge of a great new discovery,
because we are standing there,
looking across the black unknown,
trying to find our bearings.
And instead we realize that it's a beautiful thing just to be heard.
To be moved in your heart,
to be touched where you feel it the most,
to be placed back in a sad part of your heart,
where you will miss everything that's ever happened.
Graduates of 2012,
this marks your rebirth into society,
because now you are someone.
Even if like me,
you are no one.
Stand tall,
and I will stand in your shadow.
Lead me,
and I will follow.
Because even though I am confident and bold right now, right here,
I am still soul in this body that I always was.
I will follow in your footsteps.
Be my example.
Are you confused?
Good.
Because that's how I feel.
