The Big Picture

you always tell me
to look at the big picture.

where im going,
what happens now only matters because it affects the future.... that's all there ever is.

the goddamn future.

but maybe,
maybe i want to live now.
live day to day
moment to moment
breathe to breathe....

i don't wanna miss out
cuz there's so much within.
little fragments
intertwined in the large chaos we call life.
the small clanking of chain events,
that add up to it,
that overused statement

the big picture

so just stop,
and read between the lines.
i dare you

and maybe,
just maybe,
you'll live like i live.

exist.
like i exist.

then maybe you can say you've figured me out
and you might even be right.
and maybe,
youll finally get it.

I like the logic of your poem. The big picture ain't so pretty. You are correct in your words. Life is to be lived and enjoyed. A outstanding poem.
