unheard battle cry (1st draft)

Wise words deafened by youth
Cautions heard only by the wind
Gratification outweighs warning
Refusing to yield to the knowledge imparted
Strong willed but lacking focus
Ambition is the enemy you battle
The lack of a path does not suit you
When the time comes, these battles you fight alone
I sharpened the blade but it do not hold an edge
I cannot fight for you.
