Where Is The Life I Could Have Had?

Where is the life I could have had? Where is the life I should have had, Would have had If I had only known at that once-upon-a-time moment, When destiny was supposed to happen, Passed by… When I was supposed to have recognized the opportunity, Followed the star that in my youth I wished upon, Heard the calling call… Instead missed like two ships passing in the night?
When did my dreams fleet away? I tried to spark the fire many times, But it always seemed too little too late. And, when I reached the farthest, The floor fell out, The sky collapsed, And my world has never recovered.
What is to be learned from this? I don't know, But I feel more pain the further I go. Stop the train? I don't know how. I am too cowardly and uncertain to pull the shroud. I scream my dreams allowed, And hope someone who can help will hear... But no one who can help appears. What if I have done all I can and faced the fears? Will one day my dreams be real? If not, what's left? Just disappear.
