If i were to...

If i were to look forward,
then looking back on hindsight is hard,
if i were to look back and regret,
i can't see where i'm going,
if i just stay where i am and watch the world go by,
then it is lost,
and if i take my chances and run,
i might run into a wall,
if life were paint by numbers i would paint it how i please,
but it isn't, it's a free for all,
and the colours are black and white,
no hope for the hopeless,
hope for the hopeful,
for every one else theres a handy noose over there if you need
it...
