you walk in life
in the beginning
blindly
helped along the way
but once that era
of your life span
is over
that crutch is gone
the lights are off
you must now
either
walk blindly in life
and walk into
a wall
or
make your own
light and
walk in a straight path
the choice is yours

The author's comments:
I felt inspired when my friend told me that we all are naive and don't notice anything around us. And that we also live in a dark world.
