You Don't, But You Will

You don’t want to meet your heroes for fear they are only human,
You don’t want to push the extra yard for fear you stumble over the edge,
You don’t want to work today for fear of earning the sack,
You don’t want to appear at her house today for fear of breaking your pledge.

You will stay away from your inspirations because they will remain God-like instead,
You will put in half the effort on the sly because nobody cares about what lies ahead,
You will work through the day a nervous wreck because you will be sacked either way,
You will appear at her house today because you just want to get into her bed.

You don’t want to read a Bible for fear of identifying with Jesus Christ,
You don’t want to heed your parents for fear you prove them right,
You don’t want to go to college for fear of being socially ostracised,
You don’t want to live anymore for fear of finding no light.

You will become an Atheist because scepticism is easier than finding faith,
You will ignore your parents because they are out of touch with the modern day,
You will work in shops and fast food places because you ignore the foreign legion always,
You will keep on breathing because even you know you can’t run away.
