Introspection 1

Have you ever missed something, but you're not sure what?
It's like leaving home, but always thinking there's something you forgot
Uncertainty plagues you like an unmemorable dream
You remember the details
But don't know what the big picture means
Have you ever wanted and needed something and prayed to be satisfied
But sometimes prayer takes a while to be answered
so you accept what you're not sure you want, just to abide
Have you ever hurried along because you didn't want to be passed
But then the crowd surrounds you, and you lose yourself in the mass
Have you ever smiled on the outside, but cried on the inside
Took a ride on the roller coaster of life
Then get stranded on the wayside
Have you ever dared yourself, and asked yourself "Could I do?"
When you know in your heart you should've first asked yourself "Should I do?"
Have you ever taken a chance and then utterly regretted it
But then again, suppose you didn't take the risk then every day you'd constantly think "What if?"

Life can be so damn complicated
Nothing about it is clear cut
Things aren't always Black, White or Gray
Just a mess of colours and ink blots
