THE PENSIVE

Walking down memory lane,

weaving through problems to stay more sane.

Sitting in a compass of thought,

wondering what you've done and what you've not.

Two steps forward,one step back.

Make one wrong move,

and you'll start losing track.

Dare to give up,dare to lie,

and survival is what you will lack.

Life isn't all fun and game.

If you don't play it right,

a cold stone will have your name.

So take the opportunities,live strong,

because the time you have will soon be gone.
