Life Crosses At Me



My mind is in shambles,
heart isn't at peace
No, I ain't at life's crossroads,
it's just that life is crossing at me,
I know where to go
I know what to do
But what if I don't succeed
what if life crosses again at me
I wouldn't know where to go
I wouldn't know what to do.
I give the best advice,
they say
I take the worst advice,
I say.
Sometimes, I don't want to say
I just want to shout and tell the people that what's right
but why does nobody tell me that?
However, I still know what to do
I still know where to go
Cause when life crosses at me
I cross back at it.
