So hard - this life- <br />times test <br />even the strongest heart, <br />deepening scars <br />our fathers laid. <br />Impressionable eyes <br />seek knowledge in lies, <br />understanding nothing <br />while hearing all. <br />Searching our youth <br />we see a world of fear, <br />step unseen <br />into danger's arms. <br />Knowing ourselves <br />comes with a price - <br />we pay as we go <br />for a chance at life. <br />For what can we give, <br />that appeases our soul, <br />except control <br />and our hearts desire. <br />Scared of tomorrow <br />we step into age <br />with knowledge procured <br />in dangerous ways, <br />with lessons learnt <br />from earlier days. <br /> <br />2/4/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-life-22/
