running through my head

is time ever right?
we live a life of choices,
decisions which will shape our future.
made in the past,
lived out in the present,
destined for a future.

is there ever a right choice?
is there even an answer?
or is it all about the discovery?
i'd like to think so.
life's a big joke.
how will you go along with it?
do you know how to?

we learn from our mistakes,
such that we do not recommit them in the future.
so we say.
for no matter how hard we try,
its just in human nature,
that things will keep happening.
life's a marathon.
not one ran on a course,
but one ran around a track.
round after round after round.
its the same old things over and over again.
the difference,
is in how you face them.
turn it up, slow down,
dats your call to make.
but always you must keep a lookout,
for the people behind and/or in front of you.

its a fine balance.
very fine.
will one bad decision ruin your life?
possibly.
but many a time,
the decision wont destroy your life.
your reaction does.
its all in how one takes it.
takes the shit that life relentlessly dishes out at you.
do we stand up,
or take it lying down?
i tink it all depends.
decide what is right.
sometimes you jus haf to face it.
some things there is no running from.
for the further you run,
the quicker it'll catch up with you.
and it'll strike harder.
but at other times,
one must learn to let it past.
don allow it to ruffle your feathers.
isnt depression all about letting things get to u?
especially when it shouldnt.
its all in the little things.

there are always different possibilities,
all laid out in front of you.
how do u noe which to pick?
is there a right path to tread?
i seriously doubt so.
paths are made.
by man, for man.
paths are created,
the product of one man's desire for exploration,
to discover the unknown.
one must be willing to strive for what you desire,
to tread the path you want to,
not the path you think its best to tread.
need be, and in many cases you must,
create your own path.
maybe, just maybe others will walk it.

"i've come to regret what i did".
a phrase i'll never use.
why?
cos no good will come out of regret.
i don allow myself to regret any of my decisions,
simply because life is and will always be a progression.
movement.
why stall?
regret will only bring about dissapointment,
and this inevitably holds you back.
becuase of this,
people don progress,
they don move on,
trapped in their own past,
a past that has already left long long ago.

you only get one shot.
true and simple.
take it.
the present is but one moment in time.
there is no time for second doubts.
no second tries.
with only one chance,
what will you do?
blow it?
absolutely not.
its pretty impossible to say that you have to make the right choice,
since its really subjective,
but make sure you don regret it after.
even if things do fuck up,
even if things seem down,
never allow youself to be consumed by regret.

he who doesnt kill u only makes u stronger.
