Life seems a balance of want and what is
A longing to find right and wrong
Life too much changing to figure what’s right
Positioned where others belong

So often the patience does ride in the red
But still the relief valve won’t blow
Is it worth all the stress and frustration inside?
I wonder, but still I don’t know

Dieing inside is the goodness of man
Who’s finding it hard to exist
But onwards do carry the load of a life
As days and their quandaries persist

Too often the wanting of life long reprieve
But nothing will change without act
Too often consumed by just how life could be
Too gutless to watch it react

Caught in a turbine that’s spinning so fast
As year after year passes by
Dieing each moment the dream that I dream
As wants for a change slowly die

But right it is right as wrong could be bliss
A lifetime is short when complete
But long now the hours that pass everyday
Tomorrow, might better I meet?
