I am overcome with a sense of dread
An honest feeling I have never felt
It lingers and it strays
But it always comes to me
In a moment of clarity
I grabbed it
To set it free
If I weren’t so caught in the act
Of thinking what I should do next
I might have lived differently
I might have sounded out a spontaneous
Yes
To the question of taking leaps
Swimming in the seas
Where no feelings had to be hurt
To be seen
I could’ve been an addict
Or a Michelin chef
I could have fallen for sporadics
Been a sycophant for antics
But remembering fake days
Is what I live for now
Not as sad as it seems
I just wish I had followed
A better dream
