Discovering

Relaxed in his study

Sheltered from the weather

He would remember

The words of his mother

Teach yourself

All you need to know

It will help

Develop prosper and grow

As he flicked the pages

Of yet another book

This one really had him

Hooked

Almost as if he was apart of it

It told the story of a man

Who had to fight for all

He wanted to stay fit

When the roads where closed

He never gave in

He pushed back the barriers

Using all his strength with in

As each cell of his mind

Opened up to the world outside

He learned all he could

Taking all that he would need

But life would have to be lived

Nothing in any book

Could give him life skills

Locked away

Under the key

Sheltered away

From reality

His mother’s words

Were filled with good intentions

She did not mean

Keep others at arms length

Preventing him from

Communicating

So as the hardest of roads

He would walk

He began his journey

To challenge himself

To discover the details

Of what lay undiscovered

As he filled his feet

With his fathers shoes

Life would never be the same

He would be playing his own game
