Signpost

My birthday will be coming soon,
just another candle
My heart shakes trying to balance all the things
weighing on me from all sides

I don’t like disputes,
but in my heart
I’m always pointing a gun at someone

Even if I have to push others
I want to be on the victory stand
Wanting something, aiming for something

A signpost is what everyone is looking for

What is this thing called “being alive”
Is it to fight
Or to stay out of the fights

What is this thing call “right”
Is it not to make a mistake
Or not to lose sight in it

I want tears to age me
smile lines to grow
with my loved ones
I want my back to bend under a weight
It hurts how much I want to be happy
It hurts how mnuch I want to make you happy

But even so, the time to forget will come

What is this thing called “kindness”
Is it to forgive
Or not to forgive

What is this thing called “love”
Is it to be considerate
Or is it to conceal a doubting heart

Lost in the rain
Lost in the wind
but I will always find the way

What is this thing called “being Alive”
Is it to fight
or is it to continue to protect

From now on, every step that I take
will not be towards death
But towards Life

From now on, every word I sing may be embarassing
But it will be aimed at people’s hearts
And be my SignPost
