Crossroads

I have never seen this coming.

I have never climbed so high.

I have never thought this could

be the crossroads of my life.

I have never seen the choices,

I have never soared the sky.

I have always thought I am

living just to stay alive.

I let myself fall that night,

to be carried by the sound.

I let it all just happen,

without restraint or bound.

I was afloat in the night,

and it was the only route.

I could not hear my thinking,

the din was drowning it all out.

I went further and further,

the music swallowed me whole.

I had to push more and more,

to know how deep I could fall.

I felt my grip slip away,

and my time was running out.

there would be but one instant,

for me to vanquish my doubt.

how long since I slept?

how long since I ate?

how long since I felt?

how long since I cared?

I have never heard the voices,

they have never made me cry.

I have never thought this would

be the crossroads of my life.

I have never seen the choices,

I have never soared the sky.

I have always thought I am

living just to stay alive.

I have never seen this coming.

I have never climbed so high.

I have never thought this could

be the crossroads of my life.
