i make my world

i used to believe in everything.
in my youth, i was naive and accepting of what the big people told me.
the thought was grown-ups know best.
life was easy- all the facts were laid out for me.

but, i'm older now.
and i see that adults lie and/or are misinformed and mistaken on what they say.
the difference between what is real and what is false is blurred.

i used to believe in everything.
now, i'm skeptical and do not trust what is said to me without full evidence.
it may be safe to say i believe in nothing.

reality is what i make of it.
i control what is real; and i believe what i make with my mind.
it's the only way to live.
