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

You think you have life figured out
But gain is not what life’s about
The greater things you do without
When you go the wrong way
I won’t say which way is best
Because you listen to the rest
But eventually time will attest
That you go the wrong way
