You wish to walk in the footsteps of another
Their path you see as a perfect road
Modeling yourself in their image
But would you really want to carry their load?
Hard to be upon the pedestal
Appearing perfect in every way,
Heaven forbid you ever fall off
Watching every moment what you say.
You see it as freedom but its a mere facade
In truth homemade prisons with invisible bars
Closing the doors and locking away
The truth of the matter... it's really a bazaar
Alone in a world afraid to need
Never admitting your human faults
Can't stray from what is expected
Locked away in some emotional vault
Don't pattern your dreams relying on others
As your mentor, your hero, only friend
They don't pattern the journey to guide you along For the true hero's journey is within.
It's always easy to think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. To rely on others to follow and give you guidence. Though no one is perfect and no one can know what is best for you except you. It's a hard road to follow when everyone depends on you to be there for them all the time. No one is perfect or lives in a the perfect world. There's no such thing.
