Where's the route...

light and tough the timor, thoroughbred mix, leads his mob at a trot.
A day spend grazing the valley below they now ascend the range...

no mouth to speak,

As you grow each month and year
You are measured and assessed
When you go to school
You are measured and assessed

wake up crying
countless times before
this time stands out
because now i know why ive been doing it
the shocking truth
of my subconcious mind
angry minds
voicing their frustration
my narcisistic mind takes it personal
all day long

several years before your midlife crisis
