Now

My mind wants to travel Travel through time Ignoring the present My biggest crime Memories that haunt Glories of the past Mind wants to guard ‘em Till the moment it lasts Allured by dreams Sucked into time The stories that I tell Some of which aren’t even mine Hopes and desires Feel like fear and greed A struggle against time NOW is where I am freed Now is where I was Now is where I will always be.
