Our Lives on Standby

Some choose to live their lives on standby,

While others choose to fly high,

Some spread their wings and soar to the sky,

While others sit on the side and watch them pass by.

Some worry about the day ahead,

While some enjoy today instead,

Some live life on the sideline,

While some dive into it like a fine wine.

Well it’s time for me to choose who I want to be,

And take the path that is best for me,

Wouldn’t it be a wonderful sight to see?

All of my dreams played out like a movie.

I know one day I will prevail,

If I’m not scared to take a chance and fail,

Of course one day my ship will sail,

Don’t know when only time will tell?

But unlike a princess in a fairytale,

I won’t wait for a prince to make me well.

I’m going to live life likes there’s no tomorrow,

Forget every pass tragedy and sorrow.

I’m going to do things that make me feel good,

Do things just because I could,

and not always because I should.

Now what is your choice for future years?

Do you plan to be held back by your fears?

Or are you willing to shed blood, sweat, and even tears.

I’ve made a decision for me,

About the person I want to be.

What about you,

What do you want to do?

Do you want to spread your wings and soar to the sky?

Or sit and watch the rest of us pass you by.

Do you plan to fly high?

Or just live your life on standby.

If Only We Could Read Minds

If only that guy or girl you have such strong feelings for could read your mind? Just maybe if they knew how you felt they could reveal that they felt the same way. Maybe if people could really send telepathic messages to the people we desired things wouldn't take so long to progress. Maybe we could skip the awkward introductions or we could stop all the game playing. Maybe? Life would probably be much simpler, at least when it comes to your love life. Most of the world can admit at some point in their lives they let that one get away because they were too shy, scared or stubborn to make the first move. The sad truth of the matter is that we cannot read minds or send telepathic waves of lust and longing across the room, so we have to rely on action because we got only one life to live and we better make it the count.

I'm not saying go professing love to every person you think you have feelings for(or do I'm not judging), but don't let them get away if you really want them because even if they can't read minds they most likely can understand your words. And what's the worst they can say, no. Hearing no a few times is good for character.
