I'm trying to figure out my next move
and not enjoying the place I am now.
I'm trying to figure out the past
when I am in the present.
I'm trying to figure out the path
when I can look down and see it.
I'm trying to figure out how it works
without enjoying the process of learning.
I'm trying to figure out what they meant
instead of taking it at face value.
I'm trying to figure out those things I want to be
while I neglect who I already am.
I'm trying to figure out fifteen steps ahead
which puts me steps behind.
I'm trying to figure out
why I keep trying to figure it all out.
It's about right now, not the before and after.
Ah, I think I've figured it out.
