We follow paths we think we know,
Bright arrows tell us where to go.
But pins may lie, and signs may fade,
Mistaken minds we can’t dissuade.

 

We blame the world when things go wrong,
Our heady map is so headstrong.
 

The map is not the land we tread,
Update the lines or be misled.
The "should" that glows can blind the eyes—
Reality won't compromise.

 

That shop you sought has long since gone,
Why haven’t you your maps redrawn?
So too in life, we often find
Old relics engraved within our minds.

 

To question once felt like a sin,
But truths arise when doubts begin.
The wiser way reverses things,
Reality trumps those maps again.

 

The map is not the land we tread,
Update the lines or be misled.
The "should" that glows can blind the eyes—
Reality won't compromise.

 

You fight the world with thoughts askew,
Ignoring facts within your view.
A better way you will not find
To make you crazy in your mind.

 

So mark anew what now is true,
Not what you wish the world would do.
Reality will have your back,
When you give up all your attacks.

 

The map is not the land we tread,
Update the lines or be misled.
The "should" that glows can blind the eyes—
Reality won't compromise.
