Tunnel of hope

Push on forward
Don't look back
The past is waiting
To attack
The present
with gun to your head
Is willing you
To end up dead
So keep running
Down that corridor
The past you can
Try to ignore
But the present
Is always there
A voice in your ear
pricks your neck hair
It says new things
Are never good
So stick to those
We've understood
The past is the past
The futures a NO
We must stick to
The status quo
But still you run
Towards the light
But the past is screaming
This ain't right
Come back to
The good old days
Remember all
Your yesterday's
A time with much
Less pain and sorrow
Stick to yesterday
Forget tomorrrow
And now you're running
Through a haze
The corridor
Is now a maze
Which way to turn
You can't decide
So you curl up in
a ball to hide
And now its enough
To make you scream
The past and present
now a team
Working together
To remove all hope
Dragging you down
To the end of your rope
But nothing in life
Is meant to last
So tear your present
from your past
get your present working
With your future
The pair you must
Together suture
Maybe then
You can truly thrive
And feel what it means
To be alive
