as the clock ticks...

i laid down,
with earphones stuffed into my ears.
iPod blasting on Lifehouse, Gavin DeGraw and whadya know, Backstreet boys.
you know how music sets the mood for self-reflection?
yup, that feeling.
each song brought me back to a phase of my life.
each accompanied by a face.
i reflected on life's ups and downs.
each responsible for sculpting me.
i thank God for the mistakes i've made,
the lessons i've learnt.
i hate that some things are beyond my control.
i hate feeling like a basket case.
sometimes it gets overwhelming.
don't i deserve the right to lead?
maybe not.
