The Line

No façade can fool the wisest eye,
No regrets will calm a man.
The only thing harder than steel
Is the heart that judges man.

People hide behind barriers,
Afraid to cross the line,
They are scared to come out of their shell,
To enter into another land.

Popularity used to be the key,
That opened every door,
Now enter the real world,
To where all your friends are gone.

The wise eye will tear you apart,
It will strip you to your bare.
The hidden will be exposed,
And the real successors much aware.

This is a lesson that will humble,
Accept all that may come near.
For one day you may regret something,
That will trouble you for years.

Have no fear of stepping forward,
Even if it is alone.
Go ahead; drop your façade,
Let yourself be unrestrained.

Some of the wisest of the wise are not rocket scientists,
But being wise is not measured by intelligence,

Be a person willing to change,
To leave your old world behind,
Pick up a new pair of shoes,
And jog across the line.
