.
Here comes the day,
that one you’ve been running form,
but you just can’t get away.
Close, like a dream.
Trying to move,
but you only ooze
across the screen.
Your life bleeds
from one day to the next.
What did you expect,
taking your leave of every scene?
.
So, you’re losing your grip
on what’s important here.
Maybe it’s time
to step inside
and look the mirror.
Seeing you
struggling
with this abuse
is something
somewhat amusing,
somewhat tragic.
I watch you reach for the magic
and it’s never there.
.
Only peripherally aware,
you’re sliding into
a busy intersection.
The next lesson
you’ll be shown
is a hard one.
Do I tell you,
or no,
such a conundrum.
If I save you,
I steal
your opportunity to learn.
if I don’t,
I get to sit back
and watch you crash and burn.
.
Don’t you know
that everything you are
is at stake?
Don’t you know
that it’s all life and death,
and one little mistake
can take you down?
Never gonna get up again.
Look around,
the world is full
of victims and casualties.
Losing your identity
is a blessing
when you get to choose
who you want to be,
after the crash.
When this disaster
knocks you on your ass,
you’ll be whatever you do after.
.
It’s simple things
that make up the Universe,
not complicated,
neurotic
people like us.
Gather in,
everything
that you have left,
that is what you take
onto what’s next.
Here comes the day
you didn’t want to face
impoverished.
You had your chance.
You had your day.
Ready or not,
here comes the wave.
