I wrote this because I thought about how too friendly I was as a young man. At the time, I didn’t take note of my actions and who I hung with. I did things that wasn’t me and I showed people a picture of my fake personality. In the end I would of rathered been quiet.

I gave my heart away too quick to soon,

I gave my heart away to a bunch of wild bamboons.

I came, we talked, then played, then laughed,

It seemed like our joy would last.

But time brought work, and I brought math,

And life brought growth and growth gave us paths.

I searched and look just to see,

If these people were true friends to me.

I couldn’t believe, this was like a dream,

Looking at the future with them not wanting me.

Our acts are different when were set free,

From the cage of joy without any worries.

If I stayed tamed and humbled in my own space,

I would be use to the wild bamboos walking, moving a different pace.

I wouldn’t jump and scream when I seen a decent,

I would wait and wait till life told me when.
