Oh Young One

Oh young one
Life is so full of promise
Hopes and dreams
LIES

Love and laughter
Family and friends
Everything being perfect
LIES

Life messes you up
And screws you over
Shafts you hard
And leaves you bleeding

Oh young one
Life is so full of promise
Steel yourself
Wear your amour

And if you make it to the other end
Congratulations
Most of us failed…
Right off the starting block.
