The Man and His Bike

What is he contemplating as he stands near his bike Is he thinking of jumping, or just taking a hike If he looks over his shoulder the steps look a bit wary Not sure where they end , but look very scary. Life can be scary, that you try to sort out Just like that man who knows not what he wants The steps can represent back to living a life Or saying you have left behind a life of strife The reflection is showing you as right and wrong Which will you follow, which will make you strong To face life in the face, don’t shy away with fear Look to the future maybe happiness is there. What you are looking at looks dismal and dire You need light and warmth, to start your fire The fire that will take you to the road lying ahead Where contentment greets you, though nothing is said Which way you go is in your control The way to happiness is in your soul Just find the way in to this happy place By looking at life straight in the face.
