Right Now

It’s just me myself and I
And I’m still confused 
Right now.
Don’t know what to choose
Right now 
Between the 3 of me
There’s too many points of view
Right now
Trying to figure out 
How to make a move
Right now
Hearts broken, battered
Black and blue 
Shredded to tatters 
from the loss 
Of the crew
right now
Too much free time on my hands
Got me acting a fool 
Right now
Looking for something to cope with
But I’m all out of tools
Right now
I’m gonna find a way to make it through
and it’s gonna take awhile 
So I’m just trying be cool 
right now 
I’m not trying to play the fool
Right now
Life keeps teaching me
I feel like I’m back in school
Right now
In the front of the class
Like it’s show and tell
My words are my thesis
On the presentation of Heaven and hell
Which side of the fence 
Are You right now?
I keep hearing this message
That it’s gonna be ok
But I have something to prove
Right now
God says it’s not right now
But damn I’m fighting this feeling
So I’m writing it down
Right now
Letting go isn’t as easy 
As holding on
But I’m trying to let go
Right now 
Cause in my mind
I’m replaying all that’s wrong
right now 
I’m stuck out of luck
Feeling weak instead of strong
Right now
And I guess it’s time
Right now
To switch up what I  believe in
Before the time ends
Right now

James, oh what a meaningful write, I felt your tears and despair and your hope, don't let life get you down, let it go, switch it up, and write because you have a talent James ~
