Traffic Light
Traffic Light
An empty city street, late at night
There’s nothing but a traffic light
Turning red to green to yellow to red
An endless cycle going on in our heads.
There are four directions that you may choose
You have no guidance, don’t look for the cues
You are on your own now, make a decision
Time is running out, you need a position.
In life, we are too rushed, like we are at a light.
We wait and wait until the time is right
Until our once enough time has run out,
And we are stuck at the beginning overwhelmed with doubt.
But I would rather wait for the perfect turn
Than rush into a decision and crash a burn.
