things a father would tell his son
The only promises that matter are those you made to yourself

Chisel a new path and dare to walk it alone

Cause people are illusions,

Love a fantasy.

Friendship, fallacy

you are steel,

no dream is too silly,

no achievement too little,

but remember

you're on a one way road,

and you're a one man army

and when they've buried you,

the numbers on the stone don't matter

it is the legacy you leave behind that matters.
