Unfortunately Life doesn't come with a warning sign There's no instruction manual Code of conduct Or reference guide Handed to you on arrival No formal introduction No rule book Or list of dos and don'ts Posted up in the waiting area No toolbox talk Or written statement of particulars Or safety awareness program Issued to you on your way in There's no fully experienced member of the team To meet and greet you at the start Who will be with you Every step of the way To take you through all stages of the program And to answer all of your questions and concerns Their only concern Is that you don't ask them too many questions Knowing that they don't have all the answers either There's no one available Who is fully qualified enough To take out and remove all of life's guess work You'll be figuring it all out as you go along There's no one on hand Who knows every one of the blind spots And possible pitfalls That you may encounter Throughout the course of your training period No one to hold your hand Who knows their way confidently through all of the dark spaces You will inevitably find yourself in There will be no light at the end of the tunnel Until of course, you know where you're going There's no dummy run No panic button No emergency break glass No search and rescue No hazard lights No seat belts No breaks No oxygen masks No air bag No fire drill No crash test No get-out clause No do-over No rerun No rehearsal No saving grace And no knight in shining armour You soon come to find That all and any emergency helplines are busy With no one really having the time to listen You're free however To talk to yourself, of course But that's only if time permits Self awareness Self reflection Self discovery Self preservation You come to discover That there's actually no one dedicated team Manning the office That you're on your own And no-one really knows who's in charge And that inevitably You too will end up eventually having to work from home And off of your own initiative, alone In other words You'll have to learn to master your own mind Those who don't quickly find a way To become their own boss Eventually get lost And there will be no pity party Sent to find you And rescue you from the inevitability of your internal wars These are unique battles Ones you'll be forced to fight alone And by yourself Until the day you die Or are reborn There will be no peace offering That's something you'll have find on your own And give to yourself There will be no relent And no surrender From all that life wants to give to you Or to take away And no special concessions Or blessings That in some way you didn't earn There's only but one way to hand in your notice To quit Or to leave This is the sworn contract Between you and life Already signed and sealed By your ultimate and involuntary arrival And therefore, can never be broken
