Futile

I've lost myself

rhyming with reason

and listening to the abivilant symphony

of what it feels like to be

They are calling me back

while I argue with the past

and tell them no

I have moved on

They will not take no for an answer

I try to find rest with in this

but always seem to wake up screaming

I am finding my own way

to make do

with the cards I've been handed

and the time I've been given

to make things right

one foot forwad

but I'm taking twelve steps back
