I Think

I think you learn from a 
Bridge when you see it
Burning when you are on it

I think you experience the burns
From the sun when you hug
It like a little baby in your hands 

I think money is never meant
To bear its roots in your
Hands as if it's a tree

I think you cut your own
Dreams when you try to
Whisper it to your friends

I think you learn to walk
In the dark when you are
Too blinded by poverty

I think you learn to speak
When you see your heart
Being burnt by hypocrites

I think my life is killing it
When I think I a complete
Definition of success 

I think talk over and over
Your slim developments
Bear jealous in your life

To me, I think I think life
Is not amazed when it walks
In the valley of my goals
