Age is obsolete when you can no longer sense time

Ignorance kicks in, autopilot seems fine

Stupidity acknowledged when youth is exerted

Lack of experience personified by one demonstration

You know someone else has the answer

But they will never say it up front or let you in

Standing in the doorway feeling the breeze of knowledge

The door slams on you but you don’t notice

Talking to yourself you stand outside of the ring

Coming up with brilliant solutions but no one knows

After each epiphany you smile smugly

Murmuring the words to yourself again and again

You open your eyes to find you’ve talked a whole in the door

Standing still all you can do is stare through to the next world

You’ve opened your heart to yourself and no one else

Seems like you’ve accomplished nothing but you take a step anyway

All this time you’ve had no control

This next milestone has been reached; its code has been breached
