they...

they say don't live in the past


but who the fuck is they?

and i need to see some credentials

the past seems an appropriate place to dwell

since i always take backwards steps anyway

might as well be consistent

besides i can't see the future through teary eyes

and i can't run to my goals with a ragged heart

but i can't stay in place

bc no one wants me there

so i go back to what i know

they won't wipe my tears

they won't mend my heart

and they won't explain how to move forward.

so I'll ask Alise and see if she can suggest something

she's pretty smart... some days.
