Photographs In My Mind

I work through the photographs in my mind Thinking of how we got here today, what steps did we take All the choices that were offered, then balked, ones taken just by chance This is how we ended up here, in our current time and place, alone within ourselves Looking beyond the here and now to another place set deeper I tend to dwell on choices past upon that may have held more promise These thoughts I know are but a waste of time because what was, has been And living in a world of missed opportunities, might drive one insane So now I focus my thoughts to the road ahead, to see what the future holds My vision is blurry for I am not very good at this; I haven’t done it in sometime The most important thing of all is that I have a future now, something I was without And with that new found future, I will continue on my path, whatever that may be
