Dilly dallying in the sun
In the corner of my eye
Someone standing in the shadows
Telling myself to keep being free, but I’m
Racing towards the figure
All I can see now is darkness
Can’t find the sunshine anymore
The piles of commitment are getting higher
It wasn’t someone in the shadows, but
Our reality telling me
Now is the time to come back from day dreaming

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
