At times it feels like it will take everything
Innocent given away in return for wisdom
Maturity gained only at the expense of freedom
Looking too long into the abyss
Even as it gazes back hungrily
So often do we forget it doesn’t have to be this way
Such is life, they always say
I don’t think we have to give the world every part of ourselves in order to succeed. We need to keep that little bit of ourselves that makes us who we are otherwise we lose all meaning as we try to find the thing that says, ‘I have succeeded at this thing called life.’
