Never was told the words of wisdom only parents could share Found out the hard way that love hurts That when your in your first fight and you hit the dirt, stand back up and take off your shirt Never was told that now isn't forever And forever isn't told in the books Never knew life wasn't a fairytale Never understood death wasn't reasonable And who would have ever thought I was never told Don't buy a gift for a girl who doesn't know your name cause thats just too bold Who was to tell me, do your best in school Never was told the words of wisdom only parents could share How is it I know them without being told Lived a thousand years behind the eyes of eighteen So shut the door and turn on the light I got some work to do And... Well... It won't be easy. |

Lost: I like this straightforward, just-get-on-with-it treatment that you've used. The no-nonsense voice you use in this work does not permit us to pity the writer, but makes us believe that, despite all adversity, you are going to win. Nicely done. Sutra 6: If your Path seems to be sprinkled with shards of glass, you should examine each shard to ensure it is not a diamond. |
