Young Naive Young Naive

I was once young And so naive Living in my own world Of make believe Thinking I was head strong Never could be possibly wrong Until one day came and enabled me to Shake that disease And realized I wasn't only wrong But I was incredibly dumb as well The only thing I was actually right about was I was living in a world of make believe Much like this one I live in today Now that I still believe That same nightmare Never seems or fails to go away

Isn't it though Jan An essential necessity A direct comparison and lineage can be correlated between Our formative and later years We need to escape both the harsh stark realities of life daily existence In order to grow up And then also deal and face growing old Thank you Jan Hugs and blessings X
