standing before the one and only,
i stand with arms wide open
waiting to receive the judgement
that is going to be delivered

my life is about to change
and i close my eyes
hoping the time that i have to live
is given a much needed boost!

with bated breath
i wait, unsure of
what the powers to be
are thinking!

after days of struggle
to reach a consensus,
it has come to this,
time to take the decision is now!

as i take a breath
i wait to know my fate
i wait to know if my
appeal to live life
has been granted
or denied!

i wait
with arms wide open
ready to receive the judgement
that is going to be handed out to me!

tapping to the song
being played out
i sat quietly
sipping a refreshing drink

the lyrics seem to be very known
yet my mind is far away from it
the music is what i hear
the music is what i am listening to!

legs wanting to clamber onto the dance floor
my mind travelling somewhere far away
my soul flying in the darkness inside me
my body stays rooted to the seat

tired of dancing every single week
i sought a respite from this
seeking to end this once and for all
i removed the dancing shoes and threw them away!

now, tapping to the song
playing right now
i think of the time
when i threw everything away for life!

my mind is still travellling somewhere far away
my soul is still flying in the darkness inside me
my body is still rooted to the seat
and my legs continue tapping with the new shoes
that keep me firmly on the ground!
