The Kid Inside
Sometimes adults are just kids inside. Choosing to live a life led by lies. Someone who shirks responsibility and hides, but it is only when you are a fool that you can start to be wise.
After completing college I hid. Went back home and slid, back into my old ways as a kid. Video games I did.
Wide awake in the night, and fast asleep in the day. For three months I did play.
I escaped the pain that the future held and lived my life through a screen. Imprisoned in a mental cell, said "goodbye" to my dreams.
Mother came into my room crying, she feared her son was slowly dying.
Trapped in a room wasting away. Body deteriorating day by day.
Her tears fell in the morning light. I knew what I was doing was not right. A change was needed so that i could fight the addiction to gaming that was a horrible blight.
Slowly I began to reprogram my mind. Saw adversity as a chance to climb.
Exercising early, and reading before bed. I built good habits that I fed.
Life is tough and responsibilities are heavy, but when you carry your burdens with purpose you’ll feel extraordinary.
