Choosing not to choose is still choosing Just as not deciding is still deciding Not taking the risk is still risky The making of a default life — the comfortable misery I don’t want to own my mistakes I rather blame the world as an unfair place Pointing someone as an escape for my own shame Is like accepting my lot will always be the same The effortless door — so wide and so light While most right paths are battles needed for a fight Sometimes, restrictions give the way to freedom While too much freewill makes someone a prison I then realized: the default is all my fault I’m might not in control of most results Yet, it’s not about getting the so-loved “success” But, it’s me lovingly taking the so-hated “process” Life in default settings is quite addictive The cage of ease is to make-believe Better to get the pain of today’s threats In exchange for the pain of tomorrow’s regrets
