Past to Future

Who are you, and what will you be?

Take a look through you’re past,

Do you remember me?

I am who you were,

Is this what you’ve become?

Lost in addiction far from the sun.

Do you remember your oldest dream?

Something of bliss, to be a king.

Look at you now, down in the rubble.

You let yourself fall, because of your troubles?

Or was it fear that brought you here,

Down in the dirt with only tears.

How many promises did you have to break,

To get where you are with your life at stake?

Was it sorrow that dragged you down?

Will you not fight it, or stand your ground?

You used to be better, do you remember now?

There was a time where you refused to be down.

You stuck to your morals, and fought for you dream.

You learned from your lessons, and stood firm on your feet.

I am your past, and prime of your being.

It shocks me still what I am seeing.

I am disgraced that you left me behind.

You left me for pity, sorrow, troubles, and tears.

Well look where you are, do you want to be here?

Remember the times you had only yourself?

You built love out of anger and everything else.

You built for the future, to live, not survive.

Is this who you are? You want darkness for life?

I know you better, so get off the ground.

I know who you were, who you are now.

You’re lost in regret, but you can’t change it.

The past is gone, now build your future.

Its time to change and be me again.

So void all doubt, leave regret behind.

Because today is the day, and right now is the time.
