What are you?

When it hits you hard, do you curl up and cry?
Make a sigh saying that it’s all you've got,

When you fall down, do you stay where you are?
Hoping someone will pick you back up,

When you tell a lie, do you wish for it to be true?
So that no one would know you told the untruth,

When everything goes blank, do you think you are blind?
Or are just waiting for the lids to open the blink,

When nothing makes sense, do you go insane?
Thinking you can't take the risk, the pain,

When you lose everything you dreamed of, do you kill yourself to live?
Eventually falling asleep only to die,

When you trust no one but yourself, do you try to be selfish?
Or just end up acting worldly wise for others,

When you cover and cram into every nook and cranny you find,
Are you waiting for the earth to swallow you into its vastness?

If taking the other way out is all you ever did,
Will you ever walk your own path?

Or are you on it already, making the world think it's the smart one,
Maybe that is who you are, not what you became,
The one who knows the right from the wrong,
The one who knows which tune sings the song…
