Separation

Separation is innocence. 

Separation is my protection.

Discipline is my gate.

My ignorance is what keeps me strong

And stops me from doing what I am told is wrong.

But with every year I aged 

I got closer to the gate

And noticed that it was locked

Only with words and naivety

The key hidden by the fear of adversity.

Because only once I let go of my conscience

And stepped through that fence that was blocking me from

Acting naturally and making mistakes

And learning through all the bad choices I'd make

I understood that separation is not a protection

And ignorance weakens the soul

Because only once we live life to its fullest

Can we truly grow to be strong.
