There Are Some Things They Never Tell You

There are some things they never tell you
Like the true dangers
That’s true. They might tell you some dangers
But they only tell you the predictable ones
Even though they seem unpredictable
They are.
The ones they don’t tell you are the truly unpredictable ones
Yet they can predict those ones too
They just can’t tell you
They tell you the dangers you want to hear
Not the ones you need to hear
It’s like telling a baby bird they could die flying
Then they’ll never try
They will tell you the dangers you are prepared for
Not the dangers that will keep you at home
They say the dangers you are safe from
Even if you seem unsafe
Now off you go
But remember
There are some dangers we can’t warn you about
