life is what happens while you were busy making other plans

December 12, 2017

mama told me life is what happens

while you are busy making other plans

i thought i had it all figured out living

in the world of my own

i take a step ahead only to

realise i have taken two backwards

and in the process i lost my truest self

could it be worse?
