Decision

The lights dancing
just outside my window
and out my reach
tempting me to attempt the impossible

Wanting me to jump
convincing me
that nothing could
ever go wrong

Telling me
that nothing is
out of my reach
and I can have it all

Then from beyond
just in the distance
the stars appear
and bring me back

Back to a world
where nothing is promised
but where all things dreamed
are at one time possible

Torn between two worlds
deception the name of one
and reality the other
but are they truly different

One choice now
affects all those to come,
which should be chosen?
Does no one know for sure?

There can be no help given
for no help would be accepted,
the decisions made
must be done alone
