Temptations

Lifes temptations,
your temptations,
the worlds temptations.
How do you leave them all behind?
During the moments here you wish there was something more it may be easier to get away.

And then, for the times you feel fullfilled, you don't want to escape.

I want to see the bright light signalling I've made it home.

But what if I followed the wrong star?

The traffic lights all scream red yet I can't turn around for the fear of the double yellow line.

When I want to take that u-turn something pushes me back.

Dear God please let me turn around!

Once I let go I feel the tables turn and I'm free to live.
But to live the way i have to.
Not the way I want to.
Yet, it might be.

Because I see the green lights flash.

And the north star is finally the brightest in the sky.

And while life's temptations are thrown at me,

I feel peace.
