Take It Back

What seems a lifetime
I betrayed
Just to live
To make a buck

I have not done 	
What I have dreamed
So, here I sit
Shiqqite out of luck.

Do, not like me,
Choose the path
That makes you happy
And still sustains

Live your life
You can choose
Come on now
Just grab the reigns.

Take it back,
The life you want.
Or, will you sit
And always dream?

Stand up now
Determined, strong
It’s not as hard
As it may seem.

I will help you
Though you laugh
Because I sit
I never do.

But rest assured
Some were meant
To guide all others
That’s me, for you.
