Distorted

Story

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
