A Wise Man Once Told Me...

You can do anything you want, but, it all comes with consequences.

One day I went to a wise man

I walked to his palace 

Knocked on the door

Three times actually 

He answered, to my surprise 

He said 

"Come in" so gently it was almost a whisper

I walked in 

The windows had blankets 

As curtains 

It was dark

Messy 

The walls were 

A canvas of everybody's work

Name's, pictures, phone numbers, notes, and reminders

You name it, it was on those walls 

The man laid down on his mattress that had not frame

Just on the floor

Tons of blankets and tons of pillows

He gestured me to sit and 

I did on the floor

He spoke again

'"What brings you to my sacred kingdom"

"I just wanted to see how you did it" I replied 

"Did what?"

"Lived happily in this s**t stain"

"What I did, was not care. When you don't care

There's nothing stopping you or your mind."

"Thank you" I said 

Then left
