youll never get what you want
silly boy
blinded by immaturity and inexperience
this life will swallow you whole
leaving nothing to spare
of what you are
and what you could have been
you have no idea
of the demons
waiting for your mistakes
and eagerness to experience
what youve dreamed of
freedom of heart and mind do not come easy
as you will learn
these things are tested
with hardships you cant imagine
you will cry
you will bleed
and the pain you know now
will seem like a beautiful thing
compared to the harsh winds
that will brisk your back
as you make your way through the dark
follow the light
and what youve been tought by your father
use them
they are the only things that will keep your mind safe
as you walk these barren woods and deserted plains
the mountains
here is where youll find yourself
you will not reach these massive gifts from god until you are ready
for if you climb the cliffs when not prepared
you may find yourself falling
back to the bottom
and down where you began
Silly boy
take my words
keep them close to your heart
because when the day comes
when you leave your comfort
and your innocense
you will see
that only the ones who trust in their knowledge
and themselves
make it through this life
with success
silly boy
you know nothing
but you will soon learn
that life takes no prisoners
and there is no room for men who cant find themselves
