From zero to five, effort is measured. From six to ten, success is rated
From zero to five, the score is counted. From six to ten, the praise is waged
Getting zero lifts you nothing while getting ten, the looks of others, on you are weighted
Like a stairway to the first floor, if there's no basement, you climb to remain caged
Prodigies are a dime a dozen. Wunderkinds die young; drowned in their own excess
Keep it simple. Tire yourself out and no more steps can be taken to escape their gazes
Truly worthwhile people are those who balance effort and success with humbleness
Like a stairway to the first floor, if there's is no roof, you climb in endless phases
You are still young; still maleable. Don't let them confine you to their molds
Create one of your own and stay in it. Better to cage yourself than to be show for others
Temper your knowledge lest it breaks. Infinite potential it holds
Like a stairway to the first floor, if there's no steps, you stumble against other's
Challenge in good sport the minds that try to surpass you
Be it mental or physical dexterity, groomed knowledge always comes on top
Hone it based on your goals. Strengthen it based on what you know and not in what you wish you knew
Like a stairway to the first floor, if there's no handle, you sway to another's crop
No beginning, no end. No path to take when there're no stones that pave
Getting lost in your knowledge brings forth madness
Loneliness and anxiety put you close to the grave
Do not let the loss of your stair bring you sadness
Slowly and at an even pace, learn about life and let it learn from you back
Take a job to sustain your body. Take a rest to heal it alongside your mind
As an assistant to the librarian you should be able to get a knack
Like a stairway to the first floor, do not look back at what you have left behind
Do not let your genius get in the way of your stair
Twist it, it will; a spiral encroaching on your first floor
A cycle it will form; trapping you seems unfair
Keep it to a minimum, keep it steady; a brain nobody asked for
Like a stairway, useless without purpose
Keep it simple, lest you want creaks
Keep it to the minimum, your knowledge, lest it usurp us
Your greatest evil, at the first floor it peaks
