LIFE ON THE STREET OF EXPOSURE

Don't let the love of what you do get the very best of you,
Don't get lost because of the exposure you're currently going through,
Losing yourself is like being abandoned all alone in the lurch,
Realizing yourself again is as stressful as finding your way through the woods with the use of a dimly lit torch.

Don't let the love of what you want take you far beyond the abyss,
Exposure is a phenomenon meant to enjoy with comfort and peace,
Letting your wants determine your personality is like two blinds leading one another,
It's never going to end well irrespective of how far away you've gotten on the exposure ladder.

Pursuing what you want is ambitious,
Cherishing what you do is very joyous,
Achievement of your want would always be a big dream,
Incautious with what that dream provides would be like a plucky spanner stuck in the motion of a perfect rim.

Exposure is adventurous,
Same way it is also cancerous,
You either keep it from taking over your head,
Or just allow it to consume you and make you pay with your head.
