There was a time when I was worried about the future. It seemed all my plans I had spent years making were gone. I had so many ideas of what would be, decided. With great thought and consideration, I chose to abandon it all. I chose to take the present as an indication that the future I had planned Would not be the future I would meet in time passing. So I burned it to the ground. I found myself in a place of uncertainty. Where would I go? What would I do? Now nothing was set in stone. So I took to the present. I took to working on me; in hopes to bring a future worth living. I chose to work on my body, For a healthier, stronger, better me I chose to focus on school, For a smarter, more marketable self I chose to get lost in composing, For my soul, my emotions, my creativity I chose to be with you, For my happiness, For a better everything. My future hasn't become more certain. I didn't make better plans. I’m making a better man. So that no matter where I find myself I can be the best I can.

A Better Man (An Internal Dialogue)
There was a time when I was worried about the future. It seemed all my plans I had spent years making were gone. I had so many ideas of what would be, decided.

I took to working on me; in hopes to bring a future worth living. I chose to work on my body, For a healthier, stronger, better me I chose to focus on school, For a smarter, more marketable self I chose to get lost in composing, For my soul, my emotions, my creativity I chose to be with you, For my happiness, For a better everything. My future hasn't become more certain. I didn't make better plans. I’m making a better man. So that no matter where I find myself I can be the best I can.
