All my life, I was afraid
To take risks, to try new things
To let my dreams take wings
Always held back by fear strings
I had a nice and decent job
Which helped me move along with the mob
It helped me pay the bills and get through
But I wondered if to myself I was being true
Each day was the same as yesterday
With nothing to learn and nothing to hope for
My life had become a routine chore
I had become just an ordinary guy next door
All the worries, frustrations and fears
Had become a part of my daily life
With nowhere to go and nothing to be done
I had become a rusty old gun
My days had become a bore and my life a pain
I waited for death to come and end it all
I realized my whole life had gone down the drain
My life seemed like a worthless piece of grain
I regretted if only things had been different
If I had taken a chance and not been so indifferent
If only I had listened to my heart
If only I had followed my dreams
If only I had not let fear decide things
If only I had the courage to follow my callings
If only I had taken a step with hope and faith
In grief and regret I wouldn’t have had a bathe
In the end, I realized my life had been mediocre
I had lived risk free and become a joker
I was the man who played safe
Only to realize that life was never failsafe
