long and arduous
or stop and stare
filled with joy
or bouts of despair
look up it’s heaven
or the devil’s down there
savoring every moment
or engulfed by fear
tiptoeing as if the grass were asleep
and twirling around with the wind as it speaks
gloom & doom as depression creeps
or move along with my heart at peace
is this right
or is this wrong
am i weak
or am i strong
am I powerful
am i divine
or am I cursed
and running out of time
along the path, the path i go
where i’ll end up, no one knows
