Robert Safuto

I sit here and the wheels
of my mind turn

They're rusty and they grate
with a horrible screech

Once again I let expectations
get the best of me

Things in the present were the future
and will soon be the past

The time passes achingly as I hold a river
that I know will flow

One day will come when it will
balance out

The sound, the silence, the pain, the pleasure,
the expectations, the realizations

Fragility is the nature of my being

I suffer through times of loneliness and
my self affirmed despair

Keep it straight and find the path

It's not too late to love and laugh

Have no fear you'll find out how

For you are here the time is now
