Act Now, My Friend

Act now, my friend, and live without regret,

or waste your days in caution’s safety net,

floundering with your mind fixed on dead dreams

of questions fretting on what might have been.

Your days are troubled with monotony,

but when your tired mind is strong and free,

your days become bright jewels of vivid light,

that shatter paranoia’s murky night.

So break down every block that seals you in

a tired life of worry, cold and dim,

and fill your mind with strength to break down walls

that trap you in fear’s endless, lonely halls,

or hide behind your walls and fill your days

with dust, regret, and memory’s decay
