Young dumb: there is no hope

Wise old: Expansion      growth/
it's demanding    volts/
obstacles/
in view
somewhat a few/
of course
perhaps an obstacle course/
the whole gamut gauntlet
at times seems damning
daunting lost/
learn to manage take advantage of those hauntings/

Young: I'm exhausted...

Wise old: I won't/
let you fail when you feel like giving up, don't/
when you feel like you can't get up do/
when you feel like you stuck that's when you move/

Young dumb: people keep saying things
They should be helping me/

Wise old: Ha Ha the road to success is no A to B/
It's more like A-Z many unexpected stops in between/
It's your dream people can't see
Your goals you must achieve/
You want the good news first or the bad news?

Young Dumb: Bad news

Wise old: The bad news is ain't no one going to help/
Good news I just told you now you can prepare yourself/

\Sounds of theDoor opens slow/

Wife: Honey who you talking too?

Wise old: A question online what would a conversation sound between me now and the younger you.
