As I chew a gumball,
My teeth begin to hurt.
I chew and chew and chew,
Eating up its greatness,
Only for it to wear my teeth down.
Am I a wounded warrior
In the battlefield of growing up?
Do I continue to learn lessons
By making mistakes every day?
These concepts throw my brain around,
As I stand pondering the abyss of thoughts.
Look at me,
Find my faults;
Look at you,
Do you see it too?

As I chew a gumball,
My teeth begin to hurt.
I chew and chew and chew,
Eating up its greatness,
Only for it to wear my teeth down.
Am I a wounded warrior
In the battlefield of growing up?
Do I continue to learn lessons
By making mistakes every day?
These concepts throw my brain around,
As I stand pondering the abyss of thoughts.
Look at me,
Find my faults;
Look at you,
Do you see it too?
