Life passing me by,what do I do?
I am a coward,don't want to be left here alone.
So I make the hard decision,I join the rush
I board the train-manage to hold on.
But in the scramble,my luggage is lost
I left all my emotions at the platform.
Still,I can laugh,during the day
My smile is fixed,my face set.
Looking forward to the next stop
I am in the race,I can rejoice
But at night,people sleep
The train slowly pulls in at the station
And in the quiet I turn my head
To look with empty eyes at the platform
And cry silent tears for the things I lost
Because I was not brave enough
And am not still
One of those sitting there
Looking with impassive eyes.
Those who do not move,do not wish
To go with the flow.
They have the strength
To make their own destiny.
They can turn back and walk off the platform
With noiseless feet,
Free!
Their own legs to help them,
Their face sets the direction.
But I can not move from my seat
Even knowing that,
I did not choose my journey.
I go where the train takes me.
Comply,with the driver's every whim.
Because I am living someone else's destiny.
Because I am still
Just so scared
I am
A coward.
And I know that
In the morning,
I can forget it all
Forget.
Put a smile on my face
And ask the people:
"Which is the next station?"
And everyone else,
Lifeless puppets
Would be eager to reply
For they, like me,
Are all
Just so scared
All cowards
Just like me
Unable to get off
On my own
Afraid I will disembark
On the wrong platform.
Forgotten the luggage I left behind
Looking forward to a new life.
Looking to the oft-treaded path
That I will walk
Once I am pushed off the train
Because I can not control
My own fate.
I am
Just so scared.
