The Wrong Way

I can see the stress level rising

I can see the wheels in your brain grinding

I can see the answers you are finding

All point you the wrong way

The poor decisions that you make

Only serve to complicate

The situations that frustrate

And steer you the wrong way

I can see the fear lurking inside

I can see the pain you try to hide

I can see the anger is your guide

Leading you the wrong way

The not believing in yourself

Wanting to blame somebody else

The selfishness disguised as helps

It takes you the wrong way

You’re such a rebel without a clue

About the forces driving you

But you’re doomed to failure when you speed

The wrong way down a one way street
