Time

Time

I live in the present
The future does not exist
The past is as good as the present
The past is as real as the present
Yet also as real as a dream and just like a dream it seems unreal
It would be nice if everything stayed the same
breaking the cycle stuck in a rut
its hard to change when you can't change
sometimes change is not about choice
I cannot control the world I can only control myself
I have felt as if life is in control of me
I'd like to to be in control of me
I'd like to be in control of life
If you live in the past you take your past into your future
I have always lived in the present,
the future is just something that happens that becomes my past
