"Every man has the right to risk his own life in order to save it."
-Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is a brave man
That advances through the shadows
A depraved man
Who stays by his candle
Any longer than is required
To commit the moment to memory
It is a strong man
That carries the weight of the world
And a weak man
Who expects the world
To carry him through
His own trials
It is a triumph of the heart
When a man can come so far as
To begin again anew
It is in error only
When a man allows his fear
To conquer his dreams
It seems we've only ever been
As far as the fences that keep us in
But to be a great man
Is to be a visitor to life
And not a resident
It is a wise man
Who neither leads nor follows
But goes everywhere he can
With eyes affixed firmly
On the road ahead.
