It changes you to ruin it.
To act is to offer up a court of law
To an imperfect judge
As justification seeps in from all sides.

A young boy is still learning.

He can steal a toy and just as soon be sorry,
Like a puppy, and be earnest in his love's intention

But as we age we harden,
and to look down at witness your hands
doing a damning thing
Rings with a phrase like "narrow specialization."
It changes you
And to hold it in suspense is better but that can madden you.

It's so important that we choose the second option anyway
That we try to change and combat the patterns that can begin to consume our lives
Don't get used to ruining your life out of spite
You're worth it
You can really work yourself up into something even greater
You already have
Take it to a new level!
