In the Moment?

Carpe Diem? Maybe not.

What if I can’t seize the day,

does that mean I’m living the wrong way?

Am I wasting my life

if I encounter strife?

What if I’m not doing this right

and this is all an oversight?

Am I doing it all wrong

if I don’t sing a happy song?

Can’t I just be sad

and not every moment is to be had?

Why is it so much work

filling spaces that lurk?

What if I want to sit and be

alone by the tree

just for now

and this moment will happen somehow?
