Trailblazers' Blood

Rare are those among us 
who gain wisdom without errors,

       without overstepping a line 
       we are not allowed to go beyond,

              without daring to be different 
              from what we are expected to be.

                     Yet they're the ones who do the 
                     perilous trailblazing for most of us,
              
                            who map out the constraints we can 
                            outgrow and must overcome,

                                   who, in the frenzy of finding out what's 
                                   beyond, must draw the first blood!
