Arrow

by dchin

My life is full of Ups and downs, and No matter how hard I try I get pulled back further To the point where I'm gonna crash and Burn and bring everyone And everything with me. The pressure The tension The would've, should've, could've And the ifs and maybes. The mistakes Of my past And of the present. What happen to no regrets? Slowly my life is pulling Me backwards and Creating tension between The past and present. The further back I'm pulled, The more I lose hold of reality. I fight the tension; I'm gonna explode! But I'm held in place. I'm the Arrow And my life's the Bow. It pulls me back And I'm ready to explode! It pulls me back Dragging me through the past Exposing me to all My weaknesses and strengths. It aims me in the Right direction. I'm pulled back and I'm gonna hit the intended target. I'm the Arrow. My life's the Bow. It pulls me back So I can hit my goal.
