Once a while back, When I was going through A similarly dark time to this, I wrote myself a phrase To bide me through the days. "For the Future" I wrote. In those three words Lay a reason for me to go on. Each day I survived, Got me closer to the future me, To the me I would love. But now, Just months later, I've come to realize How weak this brace is. "For the Future" Holds less meaning When you see that the future is now. The present becomes the past and now The future is the present. It all blends until there is no Distinction. The future me will not be different. I will not love The future me Any more than I love The present me.

"For the Future"
Once a while back, When I was going through A similarly dark time to this, I wrote myself a phrase To bide me through the days. "For the Future" I wrote. In those three words Lay a reason for me to go on. Each day I survived, Got me closer to the future me, To the me I would love. But now, Just months later, I've come to realize How weak this brace is. "For the Future" Holds less meaning When you see that the future is now. The present becomes the past and now The future is the present. It all blends until there is no Distinction. The future me will not be different. I will not love The future me Any more than I love The present me.
