Pondering Eternity

Yesterday I pondered eternity And found myself supremely lost in my head In the memories of Fond moments Hateful words Emotions surging to the surface Cascading down my cheeks I found myself at the roots of myself And I found I couldn’t face them The positives and negatives So carefully placed to construct my person Yesterday I pondered eternity And instead stumbled upon myself Yet couldn’t face the truth That I’ll be lost to the eternity of time That everything I am, everything I will be Is for naught It’s a dismal thing to realize this So I ignored what I found and moved on Yesterday I pondered eternity But what if it isn’t all for nothing? My love will make an impact on those lives around me My words will reach the hearts of those I show them to If not great, I will have some small impact On the eternity of humanity Maybe someday I will once again find myself And truly discover my role in eternity
