Introspection Detection
Along the path of life I wandered
Then taking time I sat and pondered
The decisions made without knowing
Of which direction I was going
With introspection to my surprise
I saw my life flash before my eyes
Like a feather on a gentle breeze
Turning left or right just as I please
Not caring of what might lie ahead
I chose not to share my heart instead
No concern about where I would land
Or penance that I could understand
Was guided by such feeble action
But in the end no satisfaction
So blindly thought time was on my side
I neglected to enjoy the ride
So the longer that I mused and sat
The answer shined on the truth of that
At last I came to one conclusion
The life I lived was just illusion
Then resolved to change I'd now decide
To spend each day with eyes open wide
This epiphany passed through my head
And right at that moment I dropped dead
