I am scared
Of everything
That remains
Of the past
And cannot
Be erased by
The present
……………………………………………………
I am scared
Of everything
That happens
In the present
And cannot
Be replaced in
The future
……………………………………………………
I am scared
Of everything
That is part
Of the future
And cannot be
Lived due to
The past
……………………………………………………
Because every
Single time
People try so
Desperately
To only live in
The Present
That somehow
……………………………………………………
They forget
That one
Can neither
Ignore what
Happened in
The past nor
Live without
……………………………………………………
Thinking about
Everything
That the
Future might
Bring them
Later on
In their lives
……………………………………………………
I am scared
Of everything
That remains
……………………………………………………
I am scared
Of everything
That happens
……………………………………………………
I am scared
Of everything
That is part
……………………………………………………
Of this distorted cycle
