Opportunity
The freshest scent
Is one of new opportunities
The chance to grow
To expand your horizons
Nothing can stop you now
Knowledge is power
Grab hold of your life
And become who you are meant to be
Thousands of worlds before you
Ready to make you, you
The power of books
Failure
The strongest stench
Is one of failure
Your potential stunted
You narrowed your world
You held yourself back
Your own weakness
Controlled your life
And made you what you are now
The world crumbling around you
And you don’t know yourself
The power of drugs

This story was actually influenced by my brother, he ended up going down the path of drugs and while he is slowly recovering his life is very far off track compared to mine.
