envision a future 

Why can’t I ever envision a future me?

Caught in the moment,

Lost in the fight,

Surviving the day, just to reach the night.

Living on tactics,

One step at a time,

Focusing only on what is mine.

The future’s a shadow,

Too far to touch,

I never thought of it—

Never thought that much.

Just trying to make it,

Just trying to breathe,

The future a question

I’ve yet to believe.
