LEFT OR RIGHT

Grasping at straws
Reaching out for a rope
Losing my grip
Giving up hope.

Don’t know where to turn
Make a left or a right
Losing my bearings
Someone turn on the light.

Can’t find my way
Feeling out of control
Losing direction
Can’t establish a goal.

Running in place
I’m out of step
Can’t get it together
Haven’t found my way, yet.

Blindly I’ll follow
Till I figure it out
My place in this game
What my life’s all about.

Thanks for sharing!… decisions, decisions…. 🙂 as for me;

Never look left or right
Always look straight ahead,
Always listen to your heart
Pay little attention to your head.

Works for me every time!!.. 🙂 🙂 🙂
