We were all young, once.

We were desperate for help, blind to see our mistakes.

We all needed guidance.

But now that phase is over, and we're hellbent on authority.

We all just want to feel the grasp of power we have the littlest amount of.

We want to see the look of hopelessness as we've won the argument to another.

I haven't reached that stage yet...
But I've seen it take it's toll.

I've seen what happens when they want to set the guidelines and yet they don't set guidelines to ourselves, and we end being the shark of the sea: they become feared, considered cruel and abusive.

I saw what happens to an individual when they just want to be the Alpha, but they abuse that opportunity so much that even their offspring are to afraid to approach: no more smiles, now it's strict disciplinary sneers.

I tend to avoid this, and I decided to be alone, work alone, do my homework alone, read alone, and even my hobbies I do alone.

The black sheep tends to stray away from the family, because he wants to have his space. He wants to stop living an everyday twisted lifestyle and travel to a whole new world, discover a new meaning of life.

I don't want to hear the sounds of conflict in a neighborhood home...
What ever happened to staying together? What ever happened to compromise?

What ever happened to still learning?
