Take it

Sometimes special moments catch you off guard
You’re boarding a flight
Flying away to another lifetime
 
A juncture is upon you
Which way do you go
What direction do you choose to head in
 
Sometimes in those moments
Everything changes
 
A new life path carved out in front of you
Ahead lies mystery, perhaps sanctuary
Perhaps scarcity, perhaps anxiety
 
The unknown can be a thrill to some
However It can be torture to others
I don’t know where I fall on that scale
 
But I do know I wanna take the dive
Deep dive head first into the unknown
As we can only ever move forwards
 
I’ve been told life’s not always a straight line
That it’s not… speaking from experience
 
But we can hold ourselves back
Try to keep the foot on the break
When the car already crashed long ago
 
How long do you stay in a heap
Crying in a corner, wrecked and weeping
 
How long do you tell yourself you’re undeserving
Unwanted
Unloved
 
How long do you hold onto dreams long lost
When do you admit the dream shattered
Glass all over the floor
No illusions here anymore
 
No more tears, no more torment
You’re flying in the sky
How can you be unhappy in the land where dreams are made
 
We begin to live a certain story
Start to believe what we’ve told ourselves
But that’s just not true and it’s simply not right
 
We can be whoever we want
At any point we choose to take it
