Decision Time

Decision Time Face the facts You messed up, can't go back Can't rewind, undo, renew Time surges onwards, you got left behind Shame about that Hard to admit that you were wrong Can't face yourself The mirror shows the ugly truth Inconvenient and unfortunate But real, this is the reality This is your life and you can't bear it You made yourself the badge but you're too ashamed to wear it Too late, it's gone on too long Have to hash together the last remains Compromise and make the most of it You hate it, hate yourself So much that you can't even tell yourself properly Address your words to some invisible second person The you is me Regret washes over and I sink; It's decision time I look back and think that now it is Decision time And I'm scared, so afraid Already ruining those carefully constructed plans That were never quite made.
