Out among the shadows
Lies the emotions of a young child
His pain, triumph, and love
All the passions are hiding, running away
He looks at what the future holds
Yet he has no idea where he’s going
He must grow older and face the truth
He must smell the eternal smell
The smell of what’s deep down inside
The smell of fresh warm sticky sweat
He feels the pounding of the heart
His passions are coming out into the light
He runs into the shadows
Away to hide from the pain
He sees the wiser answer
He sees the light
He has grown and aged beyond the age
Reaching a smarter medium
Ouch, slap, it all becomes reality
Being the wisest will never happen
It was all a dream
He steps back and learns where he is
He now sees he must grow
He must now learn to love
He must now learn to control his emotions
Step by step he makes his way
Learning and growing
Aging with the time
Becoming the wiser never the wisest
