Human

We live in the moment
Try not to live in the past
Grasp the good
Throw out the bad

We try to forget
Try to let go

But it comes back
Like a weed in a beautiful 
garden
Disturbing the peace and over 
time
Sucking the life out of us

Breaking bonds
Changing us
Until we become nothing

New born humans
Live like theres no tomarrow
Cling to whats dear
And don't let go
Be who you are
And let nobody else tell you 
different
