Instructions for Living a Life. Pay attention.
As a young child,
I always went looking,
In books and in elders,
The instructions for living a life.
As a teenager,
I went looking,
For the instructions of living a life,
So I could break them as I please.
As a young adult,
I went looking,
The search got me a job, a wife, and children.
But no instructions for living a life.
As an adult,
I realised,
That I had to make,
The instructions for living a life.
