Letter Between a Little Boy & Himself as An Adult

Robert as boy:
 Dear Mr. Brown,
 One day I'll be you and
 Although I'm only eight now,
 You need to hear my rules
 Never stop playing
 Never stop dreaming and
 And be careful not to
 Turn into what I'd hate
 Robert as adult:
 Dear little boy,
 I'm doing my best up here but
 It's a thankless job and
 Nobody feels the same
 You work long hours
 Watch your credit rating
 Pay your taxes and
 Prepare to die
 Jody Ellen:
 I have tried to keep my soul
 I lost the fight to keep a hold
 Now I am not awake
 Now I'm not awake
 Robert as boy:
 Hey Mr. Brown,
 That can't be what life is like!
 I've watched some movies,
 And I've, I've read some books
 Life should be exciting
 And sometimes scary but
 What you're describing doesn't
 Seem worth the time
 Robert as adult:
 Hey little boy,
 I think you are always right
 I've dropped that worthless life and
 I'm moving on
 Life should be adventure
 I'm stealing back my soul
 I've lost too many years now
 I'm awake
 Robert and Jody Ellen:
 You were right
 I nearly lost my soul
 I will fight to steal back my soul
 Now I am awake
 Now I'm awake
