Jump little tadpole, jump out from the lake

An unexplored world is bellowing loud

To your heart in throat and mind wide awake.

Dance little tadpole, dance beneath the glittering clouds

Smiles - pure and simple or envious and hard

Greet you from the surrounding crowd.

Don't listen little tadpole, don't listen to their shards

They are meant to make you bleed

With words dripping poison, to loosen your guard.

Smile little tadpole, smile and proceed

The path may be rock hard but your belief

In yourself will make you succeed.

Over little tadpole, the journey filled with joy and grief

Finally, the new river showered you with ever lasting relief.

As we jump into a new start/endeavor and meet people - some will encourage us and some will discourage us. A lot of factors play part but if we are determined then that helps us much more in our journey than anything else. Because everyone will say the words, it depends on us in which way we let them affect us; positively, negatively or in no way.
