Where it starts and ends

Watching this world run its course,
we so love to force our way through
and rush the process, doing everything we can
to increase our progress and profits
 no matter what..

Nothing’s fast enough for us,
we pay no attention to the moments
 that pass before us..
No appreciation for each glorious second
we get to exist.

Maybe I’m just deflecting
as these words don’t lie in reflecting
my inner feelings and dealings with
existential dilemmas, but I see a world
which I feel, that everyone feels is going to waste
along with our lives..
and it fills us with disgust
for ourselves,
no trust in ourselves,
maybe I’m speaking for me
maybe this is my reality but I feel this is also
the vibe and truth of the inner realities
 of many humans out there..

Caught in uncertainty,
but certainly we can change this
if we understand that
we may not be able to control everything
but we can control our minds,
that’s where it starts and ends
so no longer can we pretend
the power is not in our hands,
maybe we start making plans
and stop wasting the moments
ignoring the personal omens
shedding light on the reality
we’re wishing to be roaming..
