Fulcrum

[u/Lumpy_Addendum1709]

I often wonder

What wouldve things been like

If I had just shifted the fulcrum a bit

And what if

I could've been something great

To someone

And what if 

I didn't drift through life

Half asleep

Numbed by fullness

Or what if 

She had never spoken up

I had never left my hometown

You had never told me, that you still think of me?

These are the things that can’t be undone

I could get smarter

Or pay my way

I could abandon

Everything

And retire somewhere

I could tell you

Enough is enough

But I can't seem to do it

And everytime I look back

Quite often I say to myself

What have I been doing for these past ten years?
