as you sit and atalk with the past,
you look over and see
the future,
staring at you.

those white and black eyes
surronding you with
guilt.

deeper,
you stare
and then they vanish,
just dissapeared.

the pased faced the future
to inform you about the present

you dare yourself to change
to
become a different person.

you laugh
and cry
and let the preasure ease away
until you see those white and black eyaes, surrounding you

once more...
