when you make learning the goal
the world opens up
into a fantastic phase
of color and light
light's not quite the weight though
and color bleeds through
cause they don't pay the rent
they don't keep the gas
so a lot of us close the books
putting the pen down
with faux intent to one day, pick it back up
but that day's never coming
the years, they draw in on you
and responsibility bears down on you
the person you thought you'd become
is replaced with the one you did
but you can always make a change
