The Boy and a Common Sense

My mind is enveloped by the shadows.
They lurk and try to sway me out of the way.
Off the way that's righteous, sober and rational.

I indulge myself in those shadows;
not for long can a man endure
the cold light of logic.

This light can lead us through life's labyrinth safely,
but
what is staying alive good for, if we're to spend our lives in
boredom, certainty, without fear, without worry.

There once was a kid that couldn't feel pain.
He was going home from school and he tripped.
He picked himself up and continued.
He felt like something is wrong with his leg,
but
he could walk, so he rationally did so; following the light.

He died of internal bleeding before he arrived home.
