The Button
With shaking hands, I press the button
the button that decides my fate
but I don’t want to
Why can’t I choose what happens in my life?
Why can’t I refuse?
Is it this addiction that we all have
that makes us so eager to follow?
Are we so brainwashed
that we cannot feel the pain they’re inflicting?
The pain that keeps us standing still?
I feel it, I feel too much
the button I pressed has left my life in ruins
Can I fight against my fate?
Can I succeed?
Yes.
Through determination, I change my ways
I understand and I no longer fear
This addiction that has been running my life.
I feel too much, but I welcome the pain
For it means that I am still alive
With steady hands, I press the button
The button that no longer decides my fate.
I have no fear and no regrets
Because I want to do this.
I want to succeed.
