Choices

sometimes we drift away
from the things that matter
and we drift along
with the things that don't

i'm on a chosen path
with intentions of
bringing about positive change
to the ones i love

it's not always
cruising on a highway
instead it's a crossroad after the other
i try my best to pick the right way

but i can't help but wonder
if i'm making the right choices
or if i'm walking in the dark
making things worse

there's is only one way to find out
if my choices were right
that is by seeing things through
to the end

I Won't Slow Down

everyone takes their time
to complaint about my addiction to speed
though none takes time
to think why i'm addicted

is it the adnereline rush
or the satisfaction of being ahead
i'm sorry to disappoint
because it is neither

all the little things in my head
that makes me question my sanity
all play catch up
when i'm behind the wheel

maybe i take an extreme route
to reach my moment of clarity
but i'd rather forget it all for a second
than having to slow down

Hero or Zero

we all want to be a hero
driven by our childhood fantasies
the desire to be remembered
among billions of others like us

comics and cartoons
based on heroes
frontpage articles and celebrity status
it's a tempting lifestyle

but i don't want to be a hero
i want to be her zero
who gets to hold her in his arms
instead of running away to save the world

so if someone is writing my destiny
or if i have to write it on my own
i only have one wish
to be the zero of her life

Curtain Falls

so many things in my head
i don't know what to think
succumbing to loneliness
my soul gives away

it's hard to focus
when i'm nothing but a mess
i slip into darkness
as hope starts to fade

how can i move on
when there's so much to let go
holding on to what i've done
is not helping either

but it's too late
to turn back and regret
and it's too hard
to look forward with hope

my head is spinning
from endless thinking
as i wait for
the curtain to fall on today
