Lightbulb
Am at a point in my age
Where i ask myself
What am i doing?
I've spent majority of my life chasing dreams
Through thick and thin
Through nook and cranny
Up and down the turbulence of life
I've spent much of my time
Playing cards
Sharp spades have left scars
Heartful lovers have left twinkling memories
Diamonds have been my greatest wins
And i've been part of many clubs
But not the king and queen kind
And don't ask me about the jokers
It's life's solitaire
Maybe i should ask, who am i playing?
Sometimes am always in a checkmate
Hearing those words have made me a clown
But again, who am i playing down?
So now i begin playing to be not but to be
Me
