Following My Guided Path Every Step of the Way
Suffering from the I'll effects of
terminal overloading of my brain
operation at full capacity
The strain is palpable and starting
on my face to show
These city streets and skyscraper
building floor wall's
I fear are leading me down tunnels
burrowed deep beneath the river bed
As no bridge over troubled water
passes overhead to cross this Rubicon
Can't no way of doubling down or
turning back as the light has left
So onward I must march as death
or glory a busted flush legacy or
celebrity doth await me either way
Subway , tram , skyrail how or what
mode of travel I choose matter's not
if I fall to arrive at the right time
station or wrong stop
This 1 simple fact still remains this
is exactly where I am and was
always meant to be
Because if it was up to me from the
very beginning day 1 I would have
strenuously lodged and voiced my
1st complaint
Zigged instead of zagged changed
direction at every crossroad never
made an incorrect decision or lost
a nights sleep
Wouldn't have a problem to give a
damn or care about watching from
my vantage point in my ivory
tower and my oh so perfect life
But that isn't up to me likewise as
it isn't up to you
We are all just following we're we
are lead in order to get to where
we are all meant to be
When whatsoever time on earth we
individually specifically we're allocated
given and blessed with
STOP'S
And no one knows exactly the how
much or gets to know why or what
awaits
Or why we spend far more time
pondering or wondering about what
comes next
Than actually getting on and rather
just enjoying it for what it actually is
that what it isn't
Because I for one could happily do
and live without the strain
Because my brain is at full capacity
and buckling under the pressure
feeling like a tumor is about to explode
any second now
Come what may
