There's a thing about these shards
That I can not define with words
There's a thing about the pain
Though some say pain is gain
There's a thing about today
Keeping my emotions at bay
There's a thing about leaving
A thing that defines living
There's a thing about history
Manifesting in mystery
There's a thing about affection
Demanding great attention
There's a thing about the clouds
Exuded by dissatisfied crowds
There's a thing about streams
Going by like time shattering dreams
There's a thing about tomorrow
That carries a stench of sorrow
But there's a thing about the present
Which I discovered of recent
That the best moment of life is now
And you cannot afford to bow
There's a thing about change
That always look strange
But if you cannot fight, bite
You can't afford to give up the fight
