World Of Real Knowledge
It's A Place You Would Never Suspect
In a hunt
I stop and grunt
Frustrated and aggravated things don't go my way
Why should they?
I don't make up the rules but I have to follow them
Long hours turn into long days
I am not afraid
Once I came with little understanding
So many people have followed this path
I am not the first
One day I will have to step aside
There will be many more people behind me
They might do the same thing better or worse
It is no contest
In my mind, I continue to make it one
I spent years trying to perfect
A hidden unknown talent
Only to hang up and leave
No different than a winter jacket in the summertime
Never to do again
It makes no sense
There are many days that the joy never stops
The same people I like
I have despised them with a passion
I feel connected
Yet think I found my place in life
Then there are times I just want to go home
Forget I ever came
I come in early and leave late
At times I miss the beautiful weather and all the important events
I have to follow rules and sometimes they seem like orders
When all is said and done
I still am no better off than when I started
When I was a young boy
I looked around me then
I saw so many old people
With so much experience and wit
Now I have turned into one of them
Without even knowing
The wrinkles on my face
My body aches
Are the pains made up?
To what do I owe this pleasure?
It brings me enormous wealth I would have never seen
Yet am I really happy?
To press on
To move sometimes fast at a pace only a few can keep up
Some say you are in a rut
Get out while you still can
I say it is too late
I have opened the gate
That will not close
My clothes are simple
My thoughts are complicated and lead to my greatest achievements in life
When did it all begin?
When did things change?
Was it overnight
When I became the birdwatcher
Instead of the bird
