Stuck In What Was

THERE ARE SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO NEVER LET THINGS GO. THEY 
PRETEND THAT THEY’RE HAPPY AS THERE DEPRESSON CONTINUES TO 
GROW. BRING OTHERS INTO THERE SORROW, SO THEY WONT FEEL ALONE 
TOMMOROW. THERE STUCK IN WHAT WAS AND HAVE NO ESCAPE. ESCAPE 
HOW? IT’S TOO LATE. STUCK IN WHAT WAS WILL NEVER GET YOU TO WHAT 
WILL COME. BE HAPPY WITH ANOTHER IS JUST A WISH, A SIMPLE BEAT LIKE 
THAT ON A DRUM. UNABLE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN RALITY AND 
IMAGINARY . BELIEVING IN ONE DAY A POSSIBLE FAIRY. ONE THAT WILL 
BRING BACK THE WHAT WAS AND CHANGE THE NOW. BUT HOW? I’T 
IMPOSSIBLE. AND DEFINANTLY IMPASSABLE. STEP OUT OF THE WHAT WAS 
AND INTO THE WHAT IS.  HIS LIFE IS HIS. AND YOUR TRYING TO RUN IT. BUT 
YOU SIMPLY NEED TO GET OVER IT. BEING STUCK IN THE WHAT WAS IS 
GOING TO CAUSE THE LOSS OF FRIENDS. AND YOU’LL BE EMPTY LIKE THE 
LAST BIT OF INK IN THIS PEN. FIND THE NOW AND STAY THERE. THE WHAT 
WAS IS A WAS AND DON’T MAKE IT AN ENSNARE. STAY OUT OF THE WHAT 
WAS AND SEARCH FOR THE NEW. HAPPINEST WILL COME BUT ONLY IF YOU 
WANT IT TO.
