Realization hit.
With all this time
To think,
To reflect,
To decide what really matters,
I’ve been stuck in the past.
I’ve thought about
Who I am,
Who I used to be.
I’ve thought about
People I knew,
Mistakes I made,
How I would have changed
What already happened.
I haven’t thought about the future.
I haven’t thought about
What I want,
Who I want to be.
I haven’t thought about
People I will meet,
Choices I will make,
How I can change
What is going to happen.
Realization hit.
The times we live in,
The fear,
The uncertainty,
The number of possibilities,
Make the future too painful to think about.
