Different Time, Different People

Some say if you keep looking back,

You're stuck in the past

Forever shouting back

Gripping to pictures

That made you grow

However, they are wrong

There's people out there who look at their child

See something more than a bittersweet reflection

A powerful energy to push them to a modest vanity

Some say the present should make you feel

peaceful

They are wrong

Some wake up to a forest with ravenous animals

They take in bullets from another mouth

They drink garbage to be accustomed to others

They are always guarded with the thought of agony on their body again

Some say if you run forward to the future,

You shall be trembling by the possibilities that could come your way,

They are wrong

Some are standing in the door they chosed for their future,

Confident that it will be inevitable

Waiting for it to open

Or they will open it themselves

Everyone is different

And will go through different experiences

Whether it be past, present, or future
