Make careful choices.
A chapter in the book Little Billy
A life gambled and lost.
by keimosobie
sitting among the multitude
up here in the solitude now there is no gratitude I speculate and contemplate on choices I hesitate now I often designate if one would go back in time was there a choice left behind something I could see but blind was there a love that was forbidden or a deed better left hidden a different life that was worth living in this life I traversed the maze a hidden path covered in haze on greener pasture I could now graze with nothing but time to lament when I lost this main event for my mind now to torment if I had gone to college and had acquired some knowledge wouldn't be standing on this ledge with only one choice left to make one more tiny step to take for this end I can not fake I rolled the dice and I lost now I have to pay the cost let my grave cover with frost nothing left now it's all done it's been real it's been fun now my last trip has begun |
