I look behind and see the future,
And ahead I see the past.
The world’s the same and ever-changing,
Just go ask a cat.
I often wonder what everything means,
Or if that’s a futile quest.
I seek knowledge near and far,
With wisdom past my grasp.
I tend wallow in the pain,
As I outrun the pleasure.
One thing that I know is true,
Contradictions, me and you.
