Ready or Not

Now I understand
Push pain off a little longer
Push it off longer
I have to remember...
 
When I did this for pleasure
That came with
Validation
Following ambitious measure
Sorrows slow ablations
 
Now
 
It is our nature
Lead now
We've grown
At leisure
We now
Need to know
Future treasures
 
The fear that boasts
It's over growth  
Holds  
Us back
Inhibits flow
 
Says we know
But ask all the same
Stop that Old Maid
Start a new game
 
We're not a kid
Life hasnt changed
What made us cringe
Is not our range
 
Take challenges
We did as a child
So bored...
Come forth
And make life  
Wild
 
So to your question
Am I ready for this
Probably not
But we will be
Life is fear
Without challenges.
