Journey

[psycosis]

So life has got you down, and you're left with nowhere to go.
This world's in your face and you are lost and all alone.
Take a big step back, take in all your surroundings,
It's really not so hard when you prioritize your stress.

Picture everyone in your shoes, stumbling all around,
picture everything on fire with no one to put it out.
Now take a deep breath and slowly let it out,
watch it all just slip away as you open up your eyes.

Just like that you're back on top with nothing to be expected,
you are in control of where you go with no one to interfere.
Nobody to ask you why, you answer only to yourself,
just doing without thought, you are driven by your instincts.

That is what this world was meant to be, one person one answer.
so when you need a second opinion then ask the person in the mirror.
What is it that I do? No one has a clue
Where is it that I go? Only you have the directions.

Then when you finally get started on your journey to your life,
I'll be there every step keeping you company and watching your every move.
It's a journey everyone must take, before they live that life of bliss.
Do it now or do it later, it's all the same to me, can you afford to wait.

What is it that I do? No one has a clue

I’m not certain why the ‘boldness,’ but it effects or affects nothing. I think the spacing should be readjusted simply because YOU have nothing before the first stanza other than the title that is separated by a faint white line.

What about something similar too*-

So life holds you down, where do you travel?
The world burns your eyes, still you’re lost, alone.
Take in your surroundings, take in a deep breath,
Prioritize the daily stress.

*I don’t ‘understand’ the rule(s) regulating poems, but whatever YOU like as long as YOU follow the, a whole look throughout. I’ll explain that later.

Envision everyone in your shoes, stumbling all around (about),
Visualize the world on fire with no one to extinguish the flames.
Once more take a breath, exhale it slowly,
(Keep the original last line.).

With a snap of the fingers, you’ve returned to the top
nothing to be expected, nothing to mourn.
The control is once more yours
no one or anything to impede your progression.

No one asks why? All answers come from, are directed too* you.
Act instinctively, respond not by ingenuity.
YOU are one being. YOU are the only answer.(And here in your original you didn’t capitalize ‘so’ in the following line.).

Where there is doubt, suspicion, just look to the mirror.
You’ve only yourself to blame.
What do I do? I have no clue.
Where do I journey? There are so many unraveled directions.

This (the) voyage* began with your life,
still, I was there, watching your every move.
All life experiences the same excursion,
though not all life follows (travels)* the same road.
Wander now or trek later,
I’ll be here waiting.

I noticed too that many of your original words repeated, was this too* reinforce the idea(s) or what was the purpose of your repetition?

I'm not going to butcher this. It's not my job, but I can't help but to add that the whole time I read this line by line it was playing like a folktale, banjo and all, in the back of my mind. Lol. I have issues. Thanks for the share!

LOL........ I can see that spence....... I guess my Alabama roots have shown through
