Now

Now

I've done this assignment before...

How far have you come?

I can see from there to here

truly, I can

but...

does it even matter?

I suppose I'm confused...

if I'm focused on the present moment

"now" is the ultimate goal
but...

This is "now"

Now is being afraid of my mind

the maze of memories that turns today into a mystery

feeling consummately alone

contemplating death

solely not to bring anyone with me

into my living hell

Now is everything

or nothing

depending on my sanity at any given moment

I could go further

be more

Oh, I want, I want...

now

to be quieter

less ashamed

less like there

but I do not know how

to find

now
