Presently

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently, I sit on my chair,
contemplating life’s grand contrast.

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently inhaling fresh air,
grateful each breath is not my last.

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently trying to repair,
so expectations can surpass.

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently knowing life is fair,
each day flies by swiftly and fast.

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently growing, well aware,
that possibilities are vast.

I am not from here, nor from there,
the future always eats my past.
Presently feel a joy so rare,
removing shadows as they cast.
