Only one decision away from losing it all,
thought I knew it all,
but I just blew it away.
Got one life to make it work,
this life of many,
I don’t know how many remain.
Could slip up any day,
a matter of time,
before it all catches up with me.
Just one day away from leaving it all,
it didn’t turn out the way I wanted,
but all good things come to an end,
And I only hope – that all bad things don’t last forever.
I want to go places,
Reach for higher things,
But when the phone rings –
I answer it!
I have dreams,
I know who I want to be,
Yet I am always the first
With a drink in his hand.
I know better,
My inner voice,
Reminds me every day,
But I’ve got a short attention span.
I could do so much more,
I’m ready to go,
Yet so overwhelmed by the possibilities,
That I take up no opportunity.
There’s more to me,
Than meets the eye,
But I’ve been such a convincing liar –
I fool myself!
I look forward to tomorrow,
For today’s outlook is bleak,
And I am only one bad decision away
From losing it all.
