Invitation Dare

Only the bold may enter
These strongholds of your heart
Only the strong will conquer 
The deep and dark divide

You dare them test the limits
Of the rules that you have set
And woe betide the one who
Fails to be his best

The tasks you set are woeful
And burdened down with care
And all who enter calmly 
May never leave a tear

To stain the treads you laid
So carefully and made
The steps you laid out fully
That nothing should remain

So come who wishes to alter 
The pattern of his mind
And change the way he feels
Forever about his kind
