Move forward, not backward, cause if you stay in one place too long, the bolder of regret will crush you.

Confused and lost
Where’s the light in this cave?
Is it somewhere I haven’t looked
Or somewhere I’ve looked
But didn’t look hard enough
Are you there with me?
Or is it yet another false lead?
Something holds me down to earth
But it is so fragile it threatens to give away
Are you what holds me down?
Or are you lifting me up?
Letting me fly away
Or holding me for safe keeping?
To you, am I?
Simply another game piece,
Or the prize
Hard questions like:
Would I truly die for you?
Have a quick answer
It’s simple questions’ like these
That I blindly stumble upon
