Life Lane

You live your life in the fast lane
A life I can't seem to maintain
I am slowed down by red lights and stop signs
And in the midst of hesitating, I lose my place in line.
I hope this phase is worth the time it's been given
Long term you're losing, short term seems like you're winning.
And although this story is not a tragedy,
In the end, I still feel like a casualty
But this is just reality... for the moment
I can not change nor ignore it.
So I sit quietly, coasting on cruise control as I always do,
confirming realizations that things are only real when they're actually True.
I see there's no way that I can cure your addiction for the world,
I am not superhuman, I am just a girl.
I could type a slew of text messages, or even endless aims
but what will change?
Or I could pour my heart out in song,
hmm or even a poem...

I hear this is love, this is life, this is friendship
this is truth, this is lie, this is bullshit,
But I can rarely tell the difference,
because I can't decipher codes
And I can not make accurate conclusions about things I've never been told
I can't read minds and I can barely read lips.
You know what.....
Umm pass me the remote so I can fast-forward all of this...
But life has no remote control
Things constantly change so I can never get too comfortable
But I won't give in to Lonely
And I won't let gravity put it's weight upon me...
When you decide to slow down,
and you finally come around
I'll be here, not waiting
Nor anticipating
Your arrival
My only priority is my survival
I'm just going to sit back and recline
Let my world realign
On this park bench not worrying about a thing
watching winter turn to spring
Or summer turn into fall,
With no care at all.
Overall, life's good over here in my lane,
pace yourself and you might be able to say the same.
