They say the sky's the limit. But they don't tell you your feet are stuck in the ground. They don't tell you you leave footprints because that's where you've gone and where you're going to be. They don't tell you about gravity and all the hundreds of things weighing you down. They don't tell you about family and how you drag them in chains with you when you leave, pulling you down and pulling you backwards into the blackhole of your origin.
They say money doesn't grow on trees. But they don't tell you it doesn't grow anywhere else. A select number of groups have it and have the illusion of forests of cash and credit cards, checks and infinite withdrawal amounts but they don't tell you how to get it. Their televisions show you reality channels and the MTV Cribs but they show you that comes from birth and sports. Not being genuine or hardworking or sincere.
Birth and luck. That's what they don't tell you. That's how you cut the sky in two and that's how you find money in your appletree. Welcome to the real world where there is no road map and there are no guarantees for all your hard work and sacrifice. But even if it doesn't always seem promising, a broken road is always better than a dead end or a ditch.
