Slowly,
A baby can learn to walk
But before that,
They’ll learn to fall.
“First, you walk. Then, you run”
Nah
You just walk
That’s hard enough.
How does it feel?
To walk as your own?
To let your legs,
do the moving.
Hard ain’t it?
A lot easier to be carried
But it’s okay,
It’s worth it.
Cause like,
They don’t get it
You know?
The carriers?
The adults just move too fast
They carry you past everything!
“Stop!”
“Something shiny”
They just don’t seem to notice
It’s really shinny
Like really shinny
It’s just so cool!
I don’t care if you have a name for it
I don’t care if you’ve seen a hundred before
I don’t care if you know how it works
I just don’t care.
I want to feel it
I want to listen to it
I want to see it’s every detail
Don’t you?
So please just let me go
I’ll learn to walk
Well,
First I’ll learn to fall.
