It is hard
And not to be taken lightly
It demands spirit and flesh alike
Half-hearted is not enough
For if you should,
an outcast will be your type.
“For there is always something in the way”
It is not what you know; it can give life
Or it can take it with a manner that causes scars.
It requires everything and accepts no less.
Entry is the point of no return - exit is still an option.
