While fiction is safer

Reality's much stranger.


(There may be a lie to suit your every need

But there's always a truth that would set you free.)


Stories will make you

Your own safe haven

In the arms of imagination.


(You might miss the path the present lights

Towards your destination.)


Living a life fueled by love

Wouldn't be worth a thing

If you didn't have a heart.


(But isn't your brain

An issue more pressing

When it's what's kept it beating

From the start?)


A lifetime is but

Some boring tale

If you don't aim for the stars

Leaning over the rails.


(But what if you fall

To your untimely death?

Are risks truly worth it

When there's so much time left?)


Live your life

Running fast

Drive your destiny

Foot pressed to the gas.  


(Listen to your intuition

Never roam

Where your soul feels safe

Is where you should feel at home.)


Jump from the nest

Fly your own jet

Make each brand new day

One you'll never forget.


(Don't spend your days in a haste

Not one moment's a waste.

Keep your time moving slow

Who knows what could change tomorrow?)


Dance when with the ones you love

Sing a melody when alone.

Embark on new adventures

Accept the unknown.


(Give a smile to your lover

An embrace to your mother

Try to never end your day

Feeling bereft.)


At the end of the day

Know that none of these choices

Are limited by right and wrong.


(They only ask you

To turn right or left.)
