First Goodbye

Passed by the city without even giving a glance

Should have I bothered to hand you this chance?

In this messed up world full of stories untold

I have been so generously bold

Chose to play the role with audacity

Now I need to leave the uncertainty

Don't want to think, can no longer hide

So now I'll bid our first goodbye

If. Then. Else.

As a child we were taught that putting your hand on fire will hurt you, we were told to look at both sides of the street before crossing a road. That we have to look where we are going if we don't want to hit our head on a wall. And as we grow older, these became part of our daily instincts. We avoid things that we know would deliberately cause us serious pain or would hurt us. And our parents let us go out in the world trusting that we would make the right decisions. 

But when did we stop following logic and reason? When did we start being careless?

Somehow, along the way, we forget everything we learned because of the people surrounding us. Because we want to feel good even for just a moment. A minute. Or sometimes even for just the hope of eventually being happy.
