How Long Is Forever

Just the thoughts of all
These immature words
Change my perspective
On the meaning of forever
Exactly how long can you tell yourself
The same thing over and over to keep you happy?
Could you do it forever? Do you even know?
I didn't think so
With all the immature and immoral thoughts
The stupid decisions and the things that were fought
Crashing into my own after thoughts
I fell to the bottom
I'm not sure how far down
It felt like it went on forever
But forever has ended now
I hit the bottom
I don't know how far down
I guess forever doesn't last as long as we thought
Because everything in forever is over now
