Growth


It was never easy. But now it is harder.

Seems harder       no

Is         harder

 

When I didn't know, they came

Like wind

I was alone

I was free

Free and alone

In       those moments

 

Knowledge is power

Knowledge is, knowledge is

I want it but

I       I

I don't know

 

It is no longer easy

I did more than I knew

There is a loss

But I have more now

There is a loss

 

I am finished, done, chicken

Turkey

Not made but owned

Owned to me

Owed to me

No one owes me anything

 

Live inside

Out

Down out

Stop there no hair

Out down out

 

Stop me now

No cope for hope

 

It is no longer easy

 

It never was easy

 

It never was
