Stepping Into the Unknown
Banking on heads but coming
up tails,
Life is a train on the tracks and
death is one off the rails;
Turning right when you should
have gone left,
Letting your guard down and
succumbing to theft;
Theft of your ideas, faith, and
love,
Hoping and praying for
guidance from above;
Your conscience weighing down
upon the thoughts you bear,
Leaving you susceptible to life's
gruesome wear and tear;
The pathway ahead now not so
clear,
Fog disrupting your view of
what once seemed so near;
Uncertainty now surely claims
your every thought,
Not knowing whether or not to
pursue what you once sought;
What's white is black and
what's black is white;
What's right is wrong and
what's wrong is right;
These cards you've been dealt
are not what they seem,
Neither winning nor losing, it's
more than a dream;
Life is a roller coaster with no
fail proof restraints,
So live every day like your last
and hold no complaints;
Nothing is ever set in stone or
kept secure with a lock,
And unpredictability is just one
of life's numerous building
blocks.
