My future is in the grasp of my hands,
In the distance of four rubber bands.
To take it easy I shall do,
To stop me from feeling blue.
The help of my friends is what I need,
Your notes is what I shall read.
For your support is what I seek,
Even if it takes more than a weak.
A better future I shall look for,
Can't have an awful time anymore.
Sort myself out is now the time,
Up the ladder I shall climb.
My Heart is fading and turning to dust,
But try hard to cheer up since I know I must.
I worry that if I’m not careful my life will drain,
So it’s time to change and make sure it will gain.
I am walking through a hall and coming to a door,
But it’s getting further away even more.
I may remain here till the day I die,
Which may make me fall down and cry.
But if I believe then the door I will reach,
Then walk through and a new life myself I will teach.
So I will never feel torn apart,
And then a new life I will start.
But suddenly the door is ajar,
I open it and look afar.
All I can see is trees and fields of green,
I get up wondering what this could mean.
Is this a dream? How could this be?
It seems finally I have been set free.
Then slowly the room I departed,
Now finally my new life has started.
I see the door that’s clear as day,
Between two standing torches it will stay.
The door is in reach and the handle I turn,
But it’s locked, so I sit where the torches burn.
So here I remain falling to sleep,
Dreaming of a world crumbling into a heap.
I awake, jumping immediately to my feet,
Shaking all over thinking my end I will meet.
I turn around and hear voices on other side of the door,
Two people chatting while sitting on the floor.
I start banging and screaming for aid,
But it didn't work so on the floor I laid.
Hours I sat thinking about my life,
Worried I may never find a wife.
Things go silent and I hear birds sing,
Then noises in my head start to ring.
The torches start to fade while there is a breeze,
I stand up but some force bring me to my knees.
Everything goes dark and I hear no sound,
I am wishing that eventually I will be found.
