" Like a fish caught in a cruel net;
or a bird caught in a trap,
in the same way a person can be trapped;
by bad things that suddenly happen."
Based on Ecclesiastes 9:12

I have lived life on a collision course,
but, I have now come to a turning point;
and I have wept tears until I am hoarse.
Have been galloping on a magic horse,
never stopping at a single checkpoint;
I have lived life on a collision course.
Have worn bright diamonds and violet quartz,
even in youth smoked an illegal joint;
and I have wept tears until I am hoarse.
But, that is all behind me as time warps,
oh, I never wanted to disappoint;
I have lived life on a collision course.
I have had no way out- no escape source,
even gentleness others did exploit;
and I have wept tears until I am hoarse.
At this juncture, a new me I endorse,
my race against time over, I rejoice;
I have lived life on a collision course,
and I have wept tears until I am hoarse.
