Brick Wall

Brick Wall Have you ever talked to a brick wall? Someone’s always headed for the fall. They never listen to advice. They argue with the old all the time. They're always in denial standing in quicksand. Never open minded but sad. Always going in circles. Arrogant and not humble. The young vs the old. There is so much they don’t even know. I’m exhausted today and tomorrow. Just get your head out of your ass because I said so. Life is too short to face a hard road. You can’t go back after the deed is done. Sink into disbelief. Kids can call the cops on their own parents you see. They never pay attention. Countless times they don’t even listen. All the words I've said were a waste of time. Honesty is brutal, so don’t cry. Focus on what is right. Don’t be misled by a stranger in the night. Stand up and trust no one. Being a grown up is not all that fun. You don’t have to apologize. One day you’ll come back and say the old man was right.
