Fred Omorogbe - Derailed

Focused on a goal with a daring purpose
Persuasive distractions frame a logo
The mistake of notice, breeds curiosity and interest
Attention changes... the Veil comes on

Misplaced Commitment slowly creeps in
Swimming deep down the sea of fantasies
Caught in a web of deceitful pleasures...
It's dream time in Fool's Paradise!

Year in, Year out... nothing to show
Frustrations deals a constant blow
Solitude... Head drops in self pity
Realization thunders through
Tears of regret pulls down the veil...
Time never stopped to wait!

A belated pause to reason...
Retrospective view... retracing
Determination steps back on track
The bitter experience tightens the slack
Once again... Focused on a goal.
