You Decide

You can’t progress Eyes can see it Your eyes show as clear as day You learned the art of taking advantage of others Maybe consciously maybe unconsciously Either way you learned it from another that did the same to you And now you can’t shut it off Your addicted The question is Do you want to love Do you have the abilty to love Do you have the ability to grow into something further Something that can progress this world not destroy it As some have so brilliantly showed in history thus far After what has been done Can you beat it Or is it something that is going to consume you You have to acknowledge it for what it is Its not your fault that you learned it But it is your fault if you recognize it within yourself and you decide to use it for power For coercion, for seduction You will never feel fulfilled Quite the opposite And in the end Its only you that will suffer You have to realize that by now Because if you don’t I fear that you may not see the end of your story Because you simply don’t want to or you are too stubborn to see But the end is clear Now it is time for you to choose You decide
