Square One

He walked and watched
and tried to understand
Everything seemed too big
too overwhelming

He strived and struggled
and tried hard as he can
Everything was too difficult
too intimidating

He learned and wised up
and tasted success
Everything seemed so smooth
so in the grasp

So he ran and jumped
and enjoyed his harvest
Everything seemed so perfect
so very assured

He began to wander and explore
and try new things
but again everything seemed too big
too overwhelming

And now he’s back to walking and watching
and trying to understand
Like once everything seems too difficult
too intimidating

He’ll keep on striving and struggling
and trying hard as he can
Maybe one day he’ll go back to running and jumping
and truly enjoying...
