Adulthood and Adaptabillity


The heart of a man is one that becomes numb to hardship

some break down in pain or becomes hardened by it

exprience over time creates wholeness and a sense of self

when all things in your youth loses life 

the luster of wonder becomes bland and grey

merely due to life's desire to constrict you with laws and paper

wisdom abound yet to fall to nothingness

the realisation that conflict and reaon rules all

creating an air of discontent and fear

seeding generations for years

for reasons of power and survival

what a "adult" life to lead

searching for a reason to breath
