Remember Not to Stray

Your heart stops -
But your pulse is set to racing.
Your nerves break -
But your mind is going crazy.

Full of energy,
Yet prone to being lazy.
You know the destination,
But you're on a road to nowhere.

You see the distance shining -
But you're blinded by the sun.
You hear the silence roaring -
But you're deafened by the sound.

You want to see the exit -
To find an easy way.
You're stuck inside this playground,
Without the time of day.

So follow what you think is right,
But remember not to stray.
Take a step into the wrong,
And damn what they all say.
