Being confident in your mistakes
Is where your learning takes place
No matter how adamantly you yearn
One must study hard to learn
The rules to survive
In a life that some despise
Are non-negotiable
When you realize what’s at stake
Accepting a train of thought
Of words and phrases taught
Is a challenge to the young
Like hearing a foreign tongue
But has to be endured
For your future needs insured
Lest they fail in this task
And be found rummaging in the trash
Of their peers that have completed
Their studies and succeeded
In a life so unforgiving…
