EITHER OR

Either you have never been here or you have so many times

that you have become a gambler who couldn't care less

if he loses

Either you have forgotten the marsh or the steel on the roads

constrain your wings in such a manner

that you dont remember how does it feel the breeze on your face

Either you like to be the player who gets to first base only

or you have never known the trill of flying

Either you have the secret to eternal life

or the remaining chances to really live dont matter anymore

Either you would rather be he that turns around and dont look back

than he who dances and plays with sunshine

Either you prefer to be hidden among maps that wont get you anywhere

than the explorer who seeks without fear even in the darkness

Either you would rather feel free of guilty whatsoever

than allow yourself some flawless desires

Either you can hold it very tightly

or you are about to collapse and dont know what to do

I would never know…

But what I do know is that

neither I want to keep on making a fool of myself

by waiting for a sign that never comes

nor be broken by the uncaring hand of a caring mind
