Sometimes the present can be so painful
We want to think of the future.
Being out of touch doesn't make us realize
What we already have.
When we live in the past,
We wish things feel just like it used to.
We can dream to be strong,
But when you are, you wish to be soft.
What we forget is
There is nothing that is better
It's only when we think it is more appealing to us.
Weighing our flaws to our strengths
Only brings us down.
Society makes you think,
You have to be more pretty, more skinny,
More like the others.
But it is only you at the end of the day
Stuck in your body
Everyone else is just temporary.
Living in the moment is hard
There are a million pressures in our life
That control what you get out in your day.
It's between your head and the real world,
The fight is what gives you the ability
To be you in the moment.
So fight extra hard,
When you get tired it's okay.
At the end of the day,
We are all just trying to find our own way.
To the life we want.
