Breath

Why is it that they drag me

Kicking and screaming into the present

As if this moment is something I hate

When it's really all I ever wanted

The future was always my intent

But now the past is my only goal

What will it take to wake me up

Fall in love with my own shattered soul

It's fear that strips me from the now

The crippling thought that nothing could be better

But my own volition holds me back

Attachment to an ambiguous forever

And so the choice remains

As do endeavors of the past

Continue on with marks to bear

Or capitulate your last
