REALISATION

time to move on
this much I know for sure
but I haven't a clue
of where it is I should go
not knowing where,
or what I have been
there can be no going back
if you do not even know where you are today

time to move on
this much I know for sure
wasted years and wasted life
that brought me naught at all
I have a pretty penny
and skills to make it grow
but no wife or family
and no place to call my home

time to move on
this much I know for sure
for far too many years
my ship sailed ramming speed
outwards, onwards always
with others at the helm
now I find myself adrift
and must find my way back home

time to move on
this much I know for sure
I fear I some day will
look back upon my life
and feel no sense of pride
for the paths that I have chosen
were not mine at all
someone else's life I've lived
aiming for someone else's goal
