walking

Don't spend your life trusting what others say, give, or do for you.

To truely make it through this world unhurt, then trust in yourself.

Bring others along the for the ride.

But don't let them show you the way.

You'll find yourself stuck, hurt broken, injured, unhealable.

And it will take a long time for your wounds to heal.

if you want someone to follow,

then know who you follow will bring you just as much tragedy as they will bring you joy.

A person who will not hurt you,

is a person that will walk with you.

They will go their own way when it comes to it.

but every now and again your paths may meet again.

Because following will make you no different from the feet you follow.

And when the day comes and you realise you don't like what you've become,

You'll hate the person you follow and hurt yourself even more tearing yourself from their path.

Let those that come and go,

Do as they will.

Those that continue to walk beside,

well,

cherish them while they're there.
