Wisdom speaks in voices unheard,
It falls upon death ears,
and a mournful conscious.
When spoken few take the advice handed to them on a silver platter,
nor do they realize the pearls hidden within crisp, thoughtful words.
Heed advice that may fight at your side.
When stress and anxiety's rise
find comfort in those around you,
those who seek to save you from your own demise.
And yet, you will not listen.
You will continue you fail and cannot save yourself nor those you drag deeper down into your own tragedy.
How selfish you are.
Yet it is not your fault.
No, it will never be.
Because this advice can only ever fall upon death ears.
