If Only
If only I could reach out and touch the sky...
Then maybe I could get ahead in life.
If only I could walk alongside my peers...
Then maybe I would feel like an equal.
If only I could move forward into the Future...
Then maybe I wouldn't be stuck in the Past.
If only I could believe in myself and my abilities...
Then maybe I could have as much confidence as everyone else I know.
But...
I am not like everyone else.
For life will always be ahead of me
As I wish so hard
For my Dream...
For my Past
Will always come back to haunt me
In the Present...
For I am a human being
Not someone...
"Perfect".
For now...
I will try...
Try ha
~Time Machine~
As I go through time...
Taking me back...
Sifting through my memories...
Into the Past...
I think to myself...
'Why did it have to be like that?'
As I go through time...
Moving forward...
Chasing my dreams...
Into the Future...
I think to myself...
'Why is it so far away?'
As I go through time...
Going back and forth...
Figuring out my resolve...
Cemented to the Present...
I think to myself...
'Why am I here?'

The Lake Isle of Innisfree by W B Yeats
The Lake Isle of Innisfree
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
