I left their sheltered care and walked

a rogue in total freedom

to see the world with my own eyes

live by my sword

I joined the fray to find

what I believed was instant wisdom

but what I got was more than I ever wished for



Hate to bring you down,

to push your face into the ground

but it never is that simple!

Try so hard

to see the shards for what they are...

No, it never will be simple!



Sometimes emotion clouds my sight

as I rejoice in life

I know to treasure my own zest

for I am still young

I let my inspiration

savior me from mundane strife

and I refuse to go unheard, my truth unsung
