I've lived another Life before this one

I've lived another Life before this one
All these feelings, I've felt before
I've written these very words here before
You've read this before, i remember you
In our past lives, you were exactly two inches taller  
Also, your eyebrows were a bit fuller😆
I'm living in retrospect, we all are
Life is a loop, we're entrapped in a time capsule
All our history is enlaced  with our future
Everything begins at the end, everything ends at the beginning
Tomorrow died yesterday and resurrected today
We die the very moment we're born
We are living off of a debt
Everything this world gives, in the end it takes away  
I've celebrated innocent souls coming to life
Witnessed the ascent and the unbecoming of emperors
Cried as the earth swallowed those very souls, lifeless
We're not here by choice, we're here by choosing
We belong to a greater force,  
Try jump off the globe,gravity pushes you back, we can only be so free
Freewill doesn't make us unbound
It's the very leash that binds our yesterday, our today and tomorrow
Our today is only as precious as the deeds of yesterday,  
Tomorrow can only be as firm as the foundations we lay down today
We're living by a script, a programming, a teaching by the universe
Our words and actions are not original to us
We learn, react, remember, repeat
We can't repeat if we don't remember,
We only remember the things we've learned along the way
Feelings are not self expressions, it's just us reacting to life
We don't get to choose what to feel, what not to too
We only get to not react to what we've not learned can be felt just yet.!.
