Attention

Standing on a chair, on a table

Standing on my bed, on rock solid ground

Standing on a cliff, unafraid of the height

Standing on a carpet of clouds

This time I’m standing up for me.

Ifs and Buts make a sweet dream

But a Yes is a Yes and never a No

A Maybe could be an exciting proposition

But truth be told, I want it no more

This time I’m standing up for me

Words beckon you to follow suit

They lift you up and spin you around

But words are just a whisper in your ear

The gravity of action is what pulls you down

This time I’m standing up for me

Compromises, surprises - glorify the unexpected

But trust in the trust that you can rely on

Promises make you blind but you can never escape

the revelation that the illusion has gone

This time I'm standing up for me

There is no regret, I feel no rancour

You are who you were and will remain the same

But when your rules stop making sense to me

I'll take my red card and walk out of the game

Because this time I’m standing up for me.
