Sink Or Swim

A fool's paradise , to live for what might have been
A maze from which escape comes hard
A time spent which is futile,wasteful and sterile
Wallowing in regret closes every door.

Where you are and how you got there
Should be your starting point
Study the past,make your corrections
Adjust and step out on your chosen path

Dreams are there for fulfilment
But should you fall short
Realign but never give up
Travel with hope,the load-lightener.

How you judge others
Reflects upon you
So look within and learn
Then will you know  just what to do.
