In the Rearview Mirror



Looking through my rear view mirror
Behind and ahead are the same
What I was is what I became

I thought the future was nearer
From the past I have to sever
Stuck in the middle forever

I thought the path would be clearer
Sameness is the one thing I see
In life I am an absentee

The wall between would be sheerer
The future path would be made plain
And not this thing for which we strain

Instead it appears queerer
Without a plan no change in sight
No chance for my world to be right
