WE KNOW THE ANSWER

Of all the beautiful things to enjoy in life,
Why are we bent on conflict and strife?
Working at jobs for people we hate,
Then complain to everyone that is our fate.

Our lovers now enemies, really don't care,
Divorced, alone, with no one to share.
Stuck in a rut, whining it's so hard to change
When it's our comfort zone with a limited range.

To venture out and live our dreams
Is easier said than done, it seems.
Does it require courage to decide and act
Or know where we're going, such a little known fact?

Spending meaningless days unable to grow,
When asked, 'What's the problem?', we don't know.
Life is not difficult, we make it that way,
Accepting responsibility is the order of the day.

So what is the solution to life's puzzle we seek?
We know the answer even as we speak.
Deep down inside, it's all those fears,
Which we have accumulated over the years,
Solidified into habits of hard core beliefs
Which now forms the basis of all our grief.

No more lame excuses and feeble alibis,
Living false hopes, telling little white lies.
Live what excites you it's the most valid thing you can do,
It will open up a world of happiness for you.
But you must live it now, no past or future to fret
So when it's all over you'll have no regrets.
