It is distant 

Untouchable 

Yet unavoidable all the same

 

Things that have happened 

I cannot believe 

Things that will happen

I cannot see 

 

The future

The past

Nothing connects 

 

It is like my life is spelled out for me

A play I was cast in

But never got the script 

I can see the scenes

While I stumble around

Creating the past 

That will shape the future 

 

Neither of which I can control

Neither of which I know
