Why the Future Left Me

I'm constantly looking back
Checking behind me
To ensure I'm not followed
I refuse to be caught unawares
So I hide
Hide away in corners
Run from shadows
I feel like I'm not living
But it a feeling I'm accustomed to
One I'm fated to
I sleep with one eye open
And I have no friends
And Im so sure
That's why the future left me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
