Living in the Past
let the past be the past, trying to grasp it results in a handful of sand, every time you pick it up some gets misplaced
Living in the past
but dreaming of the future
What are you doing now?
Seemingly nothing
So how are you going to make something last?
Finding the start is the biggest how
But such a small step for you
is much larger than an ant's
Live and dance
to move that extra step
even if you blew
it'll be alright
Don't be living in the past
while dreaming of the future
Live in the present
You will afford a present
if you work to take that step
keeping yourself kept
while others are weeping in debt
life can be pleasant
The moment you are in
you might take something to the shin
It'll be alright
You will heal
to thrive and wheel
around in a new car
Don't start to deal
as it is known as a trap
you get trapped
in the past
wondering why it all didn't last
wondering what you didn't grasp
yet still locked inside the clasp
from tomorrow and today into yesterday
yesterday is today and tomorrow
do what you have got to do today
so you can live without sorrow
instead of festering on what could be
if you wasted your time lying freely

A Glaring Omission
I made peace with being cast out by others pretty early in life. As lonely as it may sound, I don’t recall many times during childhood when those actions affected me any longer than a moment or two. Being deemed the weird/gay/weird gay freak by everyone from neighborhood kids to blood relatives allowed me the privilege of sneaking away whenever I pleased to dive deeper into hobbies that molded the proud pop culture geek and writer I am today.
