My Direction

Go here,
No, Go there.
Do this,
No, do that.
S-T-O-P. Stop.

Their Commands, I follow.
Their wishes, I grant them.
Now lay therein is a tired mind and a tired soul.
The void inside is growing.
Lost that light inside, who am I?

Like a feather gliding through the wind,
Like sand being pushed my the water,
I go on with life.
Like a soldier that's meant to be tough and obedient,
I fight in this life.

But time to time, I wallow.
Oh, how despair and hopelessness knocked into my system.
They filled my whole being,
As I cried thousand years to sleep.
An artist I want to become but all they say are caution signs.

Fighting I must do,
Conquer and divide,
Strategize how to win,
But before I go to the war,
I looked at the mirror.

Lo and behold,
The enemy was myself.
The direction of my life was always in my hands.
Go here, Go there, Do this, Do that.
L-E-T-G-O. Let go, for my decision has long gone passed.
