daydreaming

My Reflection

I see my image in the mirror

You are next to me

Yet I can\'t see you

A caravan of faces, places

Events that left no traces

My life has no direction

I have no recollection.

 

I hope that you agree

I‘ve strived to do the right thing

I’ve always had good intentions

I should have been more careful

I wonder just how many souls

Were shaken up by my confessions...

 

There were countless situations

Where I betrayed my intuition

There were many indiscretions

Now the source of my frustration

If I didn\'t have defenses

I would have died in isolation.

 

Most decisions I’ve ever made

Were truly careless and senseless

I wish I had the common sense

To think about the consequences

If I could just go back in time

I would change my circumstances.

 

This kind of talk gets me to wonder

Is there a way to learn things faster?

But then I hear my inner voices

They’re constant, loud and influential

I always recognize their laughter

When I face a new disaster

They always save me shortly after.

 

The time has come for me to prove

My good intentions will guide me through

It’s not too late to find the truth

And even though I’m feeling blue

It’s time for me to ignore my fears

To fully enjoy my silver years.
