I thought I had my eyes wide open
But behind me were many doors
closed to opportunities
that I didn’t dare take
out of fear mostly
and the regret is learning
nothing…
I thought I would be happy
but has sadness
I thought many thoughts
but made mistakes
So I’ll try to open my eyes again
to see the treasures set before me
but as gullible as I am
I may be duped again
out of fear mostly
and the regret is finding
nothing…
I thought I would be rich
but has nothing
I thought many things
but caused accidents
So I’ll try to open my ears
to hear if there is a shred of truth left
but as hopeful as I am
I may be a fool again
out of fear mostly
and the regret of being
nothing…
I thought I would be me
but has something
that could never be taken away
but it was only a thought…
So I’m back to where I started
opening up my eyes to another dream…
(Oh well, this time I tried a free-flowing verse.)
Oh, John Jr! That’s longer than I would ever imagine, especially for your conditions! So I shouldn’t rant like this…
