I'm taking it one day at a time
I wish the world could just rewind
and take me back to where I went wrong
in everyday life I feel like I'm stuck on a climb
if only we could just rewind
so I could take it one day at a time
because I get caught in the moment
as seconds turn to minutes
and minutes turn into hours
but then hours turn into days and
days turn into months
and months turn into years
and all of a sudden I'm thinking,
where the hell did I go wrong
I can't even begin to tell
whether or not its my fault
or weather its all just a huge coincidence
that I
got chosen to bear these pains
or was it a gift
a gift that will lead me
lead me to a better place where better people are?
Like a country road maybe it will take me to
where I belong
where people can except that were different
where everyone understands the struggles
but I'm stuck living in either future or the past
either way I will never find where my true home is
because if I cant live in the present
what if the path suddenly turns away from its usual straight line
what if it takes me down an easier path
or an unfamiliar path
where ever Its taking me I need to fallow
and start living each and every second,
not minute nor hours
not days nor months
not years.
I need to live life on the path that it presents to me
not the path I want
but the one I need to feel again
each day?
no not day
each hour?
no not hour
each minute?
No not even each minute
but by each and every second.
I must pull myself from the past
pull myself from the future and live in the present
for the present is the best present you can have.
So from now on I will live each and every day
one
day
at
a
time
