What To Do

If you are what you have,
And then you lose that,
Who will you be,
If you get stuck staring at the darkness,
A hand will reach for you,
It will take you as its slave,
And the choices that you have are limited,
Limited because of the facts,
Limited because of the past,
Limited because of the habits,
Limited because of the names,
But the choices that are there are to be chosen,
And if fear takes over you will lose,
Not the game but life itself,
You will never be you,
And that hand will always choke,
When it can’t it will strangle,
It will make you beg for help,
But your choice made that so hard to receive,
You start to think that that deal is sealed,
But something in you starts to ask,
Asks what did you do,
Ask if you can talk,
Asks why are you still on the ground,
Asks if you like being grabbed,
But you want to get out,
And so you start to listen,
A glimpse of hope sparks up deep within,
The abyss has called your name,
But the light still believes in your shame,
And so you get another chance,
To win and never lose,
But you start to doubt is its right,
The wrong for you became a habit,
You have long last lost dreams,
But you find it so hard to believe,
Because to you they are nightmares,
You’re scared of what it might bring,
But all you need to remember is that its what you want,
You have a chance to be you,
And a second chance is rare,
And yet you still don’t know,
And to that I tell you this;
Listen to your heart,
Close your eyes,
Imagine your dreams,
Rub out your nightmares,
Git rid of your fears,
And choose the path that chooses itself.
