sometimes it takes a moment to stop,
there are times we delude ourselves
we put our utmost intentions,
directly or indirectly towards a goal
and it becomes a tiring chore.

sometimes it takes a snap to be back,
we chased as it was fun at first
but all throughout —
the damaged was already a loss
and it is a guiding path for us,
to give ourselves a pat.

sometimes life does not align with us —
the stars may burn brightly
but only to show us,
that we are blinded
by the worthless pin drop we forsaken.

sometimes volition is a choice —
always remember
it is up to us,
whether we fight or flight,
concede and raise the white flag
and keep this by heart,
to never lose yourself
and never be buried by false dilemmas.
