I ponder if I'm fonder
Of this life
Or should I wander
To stray maybe stay
Or just to
Go straight away
Take flight in the night
Of my dreams
And my delight
I'll deal with what I feel
Hope and pray
That its not real
I planned for a stand
All I got
Boring and bland
This fist on my wrist
Took a swing
But I missed
Now lost in the frost
Of my heart
What a cost
The grind not so kind
I wasn't slow
But left behind
Fires nine deaf the sine
The briars brade
Up my spine
Took my sorrow to the morrow
I'm just looking
For another life to borrow

It does sometimes seem that the lives of others may be better than our own lives.
