Through time

A long poem which should be about a somewhat dark look at the past present and future and how a person percieves one-self throughout time

When you look to the past
you see who you were
you see what was
But most of all, you see what should have been

You get stuck in the little things and blow them up
it's in the past that you put your future when you linger
it's today that the choice lies to cut it loose or hold it close

But if you feel you're lingering
use what you have today so you won't lose it
see what you do today to get by
feel what you feel tomorrow
say what you mean and why

Because when you look at today and tomorrow
yesterday fades away
you'll see what is
what should be
you'll see your true me
