Strange things they are, promises
One persons word
Do you know if they can be trusted?
What if they don't come through at the end of the day?
How will it effect tomorrow?
Or the day after tomorrow?
Is it the right thing to do?
Keep your word,
or make yourself untrustworthy
What small bit of letters
can mean so much
to place your life on the line
Three letters
that bind you to another
Possibly a great speech
to a nation
Will we try
and fail,
or try and succeed?
What if we just sit back
staying under the radar
What is better:
trying and failing,
or never trying,
forever giving you a doubt
"What if...."
There it is,
standing alone.
No one knows its name
No one knows what it really does
But everyone knows that if you see it,
you will be passing on.
Light or dark, good or bad
Hero or Zero
It dosen't care
Rich or poor
It dosen't care
Famous or pathetic
It dosen't care
It will come for you sometime
Dead or alive, you might ask
it is neither
It is just there
An entity
It is here for you?
Or the fool next to you?
How to accept it,
I cannot tell
What I do not know
Be brave, and meet your chosen destiny?
Or be cowardly, and try to run away
But to what?
It will still follow
It is always at our heels
waiting for the moment
