Transfer
I was young once.
like you
I too
had a look at the future.
That gaze was traded
for nothing.
I found out
that everything I valued
was worthless
and all the lies
and boasting were just that.
I created nothing of substance
with my life.
Just bragging and yelling.
I'll go down
as a joke.
I write this to you so
that you avoid that.
Like a sunset or sunrise
my attraction only lasts
for that long.
And to my children
do something with your life
don't live like me.
Dedicated yourself to something
honestly.
