Jack 100

The wisdom of life is what we yearn
Yet, ill prepared from our lessons to learn

Lacking beliefs and actions, just empty words said out loud
Without authentic conviction, unable to stand tall and proud

Feelings of heaven and feelings of hell
Sometimes the difference is hard to tell

Locked firmly within, however dark or disturbed
Carrying the burden, so others remain unperturbed

Nobody knows where I’ve actually been
Only imagining the things that I’ve seen

The turmoil of where’s why’s and how
Remain a secret, at least for now
