Bleak (work in progress...)

Looking back

At a past so distant

You wish you could go back

To undo the suffering you once went through

To live much safely

Happier than before

To live the way you truly desired your youth

​

Did you ever confess

You had feelings for a girl?

Did she ever knew

You were over hills for her?

Did you once dare

To speak so fearlessly?

Did you ever face

Those who mocked at you so mercilessly?

​

Looking foward

At the near unseen.

​

"Once you pass

Forgotten you'll become

Who shall there be to dwell on you?"

​

"Who shall hear or see through your past?

Stories no one's heard

Now buried underground".

​

"Who shall you give the things you once so treasured?

No child, no friend, no companion you can rest on".

​

"Who shall bury your remains once this world you leave?

You'll go rotten

Wretched

You'll become the corpse for worms to eat"

​

"What mark have you left upon the earth?

You're just stardust in the vastness of space".

​

"How will you live?

How shall you survive?"

You look at what is left,

"Will it be enough to see a brand new dawn?"

Thoughts about uncertain things to come are blinding your mind.

​

You ponder and ponder

time and time again,

For hours,

For days

About the shape of things to come

Don't you see the more you think,

the more you life is passing you by?

​

This present moment is the maker of dreams ahead.

So it is time

To re-evalute this mind.

To re-direct your focus on the here and now!
