My Path Runs Ahead Of Me And My Plans – Canto Five

My Path Runs Ahead of Me and My Plans 

Canto Five

written by: Benjamin R Bray

Those four years
Feel like the only four
That can flash
Yet stand perfectly still.
It all just meshes together

The challenge
Is to find your present
When everyone is telling you
To plan out your future
Splitting yourself across time

Because of our sheer numbers
And an overwhelmed system
Many are left lost
In the green screen sea of digits
Who could begin to understand every story

But that’s what we are
Stories,
Not equations,
Left unfinished
Yet shut closed

We were told to turn
The page
A new life
Built on fading memories
Replaced by new things to forget
