A Wisdom Download

Wisdom Download Like a computer downloads memory Like a story gets passed on I’m downloading my wisdom To the ones who are still young. If I want to be remembered As someone that you knew I’ll have to share all that I know A gift from me to you. Here are some things that I’ve learned, Through heartbreak and through strife Words can pierce the strongest heart More effective than a knife. Words that are left unspoken Can protect or they can bruise, But a heart that’s worn upon your sleeve Is easy to abuse. Some may want to hurt you They feed off your tears If living is the best revenge I’ll stay alive for years. Don’t be afraid of the darkness Don’t be afraid of pain The ones who try to hurt us Will be trying but in vain Life is meant for living It’s shorter than you think It won’t be long till you’ll be with me Standing on the brink. Cheerful is overrated It’s watery and fake Live your life to be joyful Till you are in the ocean’s wake. I’m downloading my wisdom Passing from me to you, So take this knowledge, learn some more And then pass that on too.
