Be Present.
They say to be present. The here, the now.
A deep breath is all that’s needed. Be silent with your heart.
But if you only knew my friend, what you
are asking me to do.
You would never consider to ask this of your friend.
You see the here and now is painful, it’s harder than you think.
It’s easier to focus on the future and its ink.
You see the future doesn’t scare me, doesn’t worry me one bit.
It’s the here, the now that I am trying to escape and unwit.
The heaviness, the pain, the stiffness in my cage.
The future can be imagined.
Can be changed by heart and mind.
The present however must be lived, endured in both body, soul, and mind.
So, when you ask me to be present.
Please note how much you’ve asked.
The present might be more than what you’ve signed up for, it’s quite the task.
Don’t fret as I’ve been here before. I will endure the pain.
Just allow my mind to cast its spell to take the pain away.
You see the future helps to take away the pain, from the here and now.
It takes me to a different place, where I, am safe and sound.
So don’t you worry. All will be okay. Tomorrow will be another day.
