Shade 79: the Broken Compass

And suddenly you’re awake
To all the choices you didn’t make
Every personal mistake so far
So is it time to start again?
Should it be right now or when?
You can stay put but then it’s hard.
See, you’re miles from the route
That you always dreamt about
And the fear is crying loud, take heart.
Just take a single tread
Towards the image in your head
Of the life you want instead, now start.
There’s a freedom you will find
On the pictures in your mind
Though you’ve left them all behind, till now.
So go back where you began
Now’s the time to start again
It’s so hard but you can learn how.
