I've spent my life in the fast lane and never given it up
Is there a wrong or right time to go off on your own
The chip on my shoulder grew from many things
From the peer pressure of just trying to fit in
To the unforgiving words that she walked into a door again
The scars became a tattoo in the spirit of things we'd been through
The inner child was gone or so I thought to be true
Time never healed but it most definitely moved on
To become way more than the boy that did what he wants
Learning to walk the path from anothers eyes you'd wish you'd not
Finding meaning from all the memories that guided our hearts
Full from every tiny interaction on others parts
Never to truly be alone in each breath until the last
The speed was never important just the knowledge passed
Grateful to be on the stage and joining in with lifes art

I like your writings Dan .. and this is a good poem .. our inner child can be so hurt .. can’t they .
I know mine has been .
If we walk away on our own .. maybe because we feel unloved .. and not a nice feeling
Keep writing , ))
Yes part of life is definitely not ment to be easy but our carertakers should take some of the responsibility until we can mold our own!
Yet each of us will do it when the time is right, if we know it or not!
Thank you my friend
Who can we pass the buck to? Who should we pass it to? Would anyone accept it? Nope. We are stuck with it so better get on with being ourselves and fitting in where it's nice and comfy for everyone.
Ha ha! That was it or is it in a nut shell my friend, spot on as ever!
Still teaching my brain not to blame just get comfortable with your chosen lane.
Cheering loudly for this inspiring piece of wise knowledge on how to walk through dark to light Dan. Moving on when we are down and out is the way to learn more as this poem states. Thanking you most sincerely for sharing it.
Wow.. what a delightful comment to read first thing..from dark to light has been my life and hopefully I'll get the courage to put this all in a book!
Truly appreciate my friend
An inspiring poem. Thank you.

That knowledge gained is an absolute blessing in your life and it will lead you into an ever better future.
