Life's Possibilities

Holding on
Holding tight
sleeping days
living nights

being lost
being found
lifted up
beaten down

changing twice
staying same
pointing fingers
getting blame

saying no
meaning yes
wanting more
getting less

letting go
letting fly
saying hello
saying 'bye

oozing love
seething hate
being on time
being late

saying quiet
just complaining
making a choice
then hesistating

laugh angelic
scream demonic
fade to black
be iconic

get it right
get it wrong
coming up short
getting too long

Always one or annother
choose door 1 or 2
obvious choice or take a chance
be the hero or the fool.
