The Past
It Haunts us,
It Taunts us
Follows us around.
We regret
We can't forget
It keeps us tightly wound.
It's blurry,
We worry,
Will all our memories leave?
A hazy smile
A blackened tile
We're easy to deceive.
The Present
It wakes us up
It takes us up,
Plasters us to stress.
We face our fears
It ends in tears
It makes us all confess.
It never lasts,
It turns to past,
Just a distant thought.
It's everyday
We can't run away,
It leaves our heartstrings taught.
The Future**
We can't hide,
Can't brush aside
What we don't expect.
If it let's us down,
We turn it around,
It's pointless to object.
Simple prepare
Honestly care,
We just might have a chance
A little glimmer
Not possibly slimmer
It will allow us to advance.

Always wander, never waver.
Don't look back,
I'm no life saver.
Keep on loving, keep on leading,
It's that I lack,
It's you I'm needing.
Just keep fighting, just keep breathing.
I'm not that brave,
So you'll be leaving.
Never falter, never break.
Here I'm safe,
So don't you wake.
Stand up proud, stand up strong,
But I won't go,
I don't belong.
Don't back down, don't forget
Face your foe
And loose your debt.
Serve your country, stoke the storm
Then come on back,
I'm safe and warm.

They sway,
They turn
As I sizzle
And I burn.
Jealousy.
They whisper
They gush
As I frown
And I flush.
Embarrassment.
They mask
They hide
As I peek
And I pry.
Curiosity.
They sneer
They stare
As I tense
And I glare.
Anger.
They taunt
They lie
As I stand
And I defy.
**Pride.
