Petrified

Songs of hope and tales of love
Leave me alone only bittersweet.
I see my life and choices flashing before me
And wonder, "what have I become?"
My fears, they're all based in truth,
But now I see where they've driven me
Just like fantastic fairytales,
This epiphany's bittersweet.
The solution is simple enough,
But with no one to show me how,
Today's plight's as hopeless as yesterday,
I'm just inexperienced in these ways.
