What Lies Ahead
Looking ahead, there’s so much the world holds for us
Pain and sadness, success and joy
Jubilant days and depressing nights
All depending on how long our hearts beat
But no one told me that time would move so slow
No one told me that time would pass so quickly
No one told me that time would jump out of my grip
And hit the floor with no hope of getting back
How am I supposed to know when it all stops?
It’s scary knowing that it can end within a second
That my future can be erased with no warning
When it was all I was looking foward to
Time is fragile, life is fragile
We must treat it with care
Don’t take advantage of something
That can be taken away as eaily as it is given
So everyday I will be patient
And water the body that I live in
I will let myself go on for another day
So that I can see more of what time offers me
It will pay off right?
All the tears I shed and the things I’ve lost
Because there is so much more to life
Than those short moments of pain
Okay then, I’ve decided
That I will let this life that I am limited to
Consume me whole and teach me what it can
And with it I will become who I am meant to be
