Words of Wisdom

Don't be my child, don't step on broken glasses

Don't be fooled by all of those sweet promises

I've been through a lot of regrets

Memories that I love to bury and simply forget



Treasure my child, my words of wisdom

I have a lot of story to tell, when I enter the kings kingdom

Wounded by those pitiless pawns, knights and bishops

Terrorized by rook and the queen killed all of my hopes



Listen well, don't act so stupid my innocent child

The world is full of jungle and really so wild

I was bitten by spiders, lions and snakes

To recall what i've been through still make my body shakes



My child, look at all my deep scars

Think thrice always, don't fully rush to reach the stars

Or else you'll wished upon it, to bring you back to where you start

Coz you have lead your life to a maze and welcome the dark



My dear sage, all your words are of true wisdom

But let me take my own course of freedom

I may feel the deepest sorrow like hell

But at the end like you, I will have a great story to tell
