Live This Way
By Dominic Jones
I cannot go on living in this repetition
But I do not know how to change my behaviors
The evolution of a person
Making progress in his life
Problem pebbles build up to form a mountain
Which cannot easily be undone
And sometimes I deny that I am unhappy
Sometimes I wear a happy face even when I am dying inside
When the problems tower over me
It's hard not to be overwhelmed
I know that I am not living up to my full potential
But I have not yet figured out how to do just that
It will be my downfall
Grinding me into the ground
Always thinking about how the future could be different
If I had done something other than what
I did in the past
But I know that my past does not determine my future
And it is interesting to me that I feel more than ever
That everything turned out just like this for some ultimate purpose
I know I have to keep going and never look back
Plotting my own course each new day
Nothing but this thing I cannot see called faith
Holding me up and supporting me
From falling into the old ruts
That constantly beckon for me to come back
Every decision affects everything else, like a spider's web
And now I know for certain
As confused as I am feeling
I am exactly where I need to be
