Jan 2013
Whilst standing in a sea of faces
Tears inside me leave their traces
Fear shadows me like clouds
And gives birth unto doubt
And all around the sounds of voices
Inside I feel I've lost the choice

To live to die
To smile and try
To seek the meaning of my life

Yet within comes a soft wisper
Choose me
Choose life

Death beckons me to change my mind
To leave the sadness all behind
To let  this mortal life go by
Yet my soul still cry
What truth arise to let this lie
Within my confused mind

And a dove upon a branch up high
Beneath a cloudless sky
Brings peace unto my weary mind
As if to say

Choose me

Choose life!
