retrogression
Running,
Running as fast as you can
Trying to flee a dangerous land
Climbing
Climbing to to the end
Wishing to live a life that is grand
Completely controlled
Never knowing if you will fold
Fold under the pressure ,
To be something your not
Or to rid yourself of lost thought
Overwhelmed with stress
You retrogress, instead of progress
Falling due to the weight
That burdens your plate
Struggling to find stable ground
You miss the ledge and fall further down
To concerned about what if
You may as well jump off the cliff
The future is untold
The past you cannot let go
Worry about the now
You will realize your already in the clouds
No more struggles to climb
No more abyss beneath your feet
The present moment that you are in
Is the only place you need to be
You will see that there is no misery
Forced to stress
You continue the retrogression
Controlled by the thought of reaching the top
Completely in denial
You slowly being to spiral
The present moment that your in
Will set you up to win
Stop worrying about your past endeavor
And unwritten future pleasures
The retrogression will end
You will learn to cherish every moment that you are presently in
Running as fast as you can
