A short poem about moving beyond the past and the present into my own defined future. |
-Out To The Future- by Keaton Foster Beyond here Beyond now This very moment Of space and time Out to the future I must be willing to go I cannot hold back No longer can I Remain in the past Never again will I step back As I bravely move forward Way beyond what I have become Increasingly bothered with I must burn down the past And by doing so destroy the present I must lay waste to all that I know In order to find something new Something impossible to those Who know my terrifying truth Selfish this will all seem Many will scream for me To come back To hold them ever so close But above all I must let go I must set them free Even at the price of their dreams I must dismantle their bridges All of their connections to me So that once I am gone Once time no longer holds me I, as well as them Will be absolutely free Out to the future Beyond here Beyond now I must go Without regret Without concern I have to step beyond life Beyond death Transcend the idea of what “is” For the uncertainty of what can “be” I must risk it all My absolute everything Only then will I stand tall Only then will I be free Of myself and all that my life Has come to be Only then will I know That nothing from my present Or from my past has control Out to the future I must go Beyond skin and bones Beyond my very soul Out into the ether of an existence That I have never been Comfortable with… Out To The Future Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2012. |
