Swimming Lessons for People with Adjustment Disorder

You don't want to be the belly of the universe 
But you want Family to love and be proud of you 
You don't want to be a living legend 
But you want People to appreciate and understand your work 
You don't want to manage a fan club 
But you want Friends to support and walk with you 

There is a slippery steel ladder 
Its name is Life 
The steps are sometimes missing or broken 
You cannot take a step backward 

Parents struggle to guide and lead you 
School instructs you about climbing   
Society tells you how not to fall 
In the end you've learned nothing at all 

There is a diving tower at the top of the device 
Its name is Dixit D. End 
The platform is always made of inflexible concrete 
You can only take a step forward 

Going up seems for some really easy 
It is not the same for everybody 
When you'll jump will it make a big splash
Or will it only last the time of a photo flash? 

Parents will catch you before you fall in deep dark waters 
But one day or the other, you become an orphan 
School will throw you a lifebelt so you don't drown 
But one day or the other, it's time for recess or dismissal 
Society tells you how not to fall 
In the end you've learned nothing at all
