SPIRAL MOVEMENT

First I took right, very smooth 
 Love by majority 
Then I took left, very dark
Only the brave and strong strive here
Because you got to be the light 
So you can shine while striving 
Then I took time to observe 
I saw my past behind and the future ahead
Then I choose to remain present
Because I can't go to the past 
 I can't forcefully manifest the future either.

Things in the past 
Steadily stealing my attention 
Causing distractions 
Disrupting my focus towards the future 
But I'm so dynamic 
Saying to myself always 
I didn't come this far 
To settle for the least but the best.

Many times I move correctly 
Sometimes wrongly 
My mindset my redeemer
Whenever I move wrongly 
My instinct always revives me 
That's why I always trust my guts 
Making adjustments as soon as possible 
Always responsible for my mistakes 
Not find who to blame or make lame.
