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.
