"Carpe Diem"

What's the point in getting upset
There really is no reason to fret
Everyone does just what they want
It doesnt matter whose dreams they haunt

You cant hide the pain that you feel
Your aura knows just what to reveal
Don't surround yourself with demons
Continuing to cut  where you're bleeding

It's hard to get out of a bad situation
We dont receive devine revelations
You can see the right thing to do
But questions cause pause and feelings brew

You may think I cant see the truth
But I'm like a psychic in a carnival booth
I have the power to stop the pain
To dull the knife that cuts your veins

Dont be afraid to choose the right path
If you dont you'll feel your own wrath
Take the step that you know will go
To the end of the hopeful rainbow

The pot of gold is there unattended
Until you claim that which has tempted
Rise up to the challenges you face
This treaure is one you must embrace

So when the sun is out and the rain has cleared
You will feel silly for the things you've feared
It's all out there to claim for your own
Carpe Diem, the gold and the unknown.
