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
