Light turns on
We smile we laugh
We celebrate nothing
As everything is normal and well
We fear nothing

Light turns off
We're lost in our own worlds
We fear everything
Wishing things to be normal
We mourn everything

Life doesn't tell us
When it cuts off the lights
Oblivion of the present in the future  
Is something us humans cannot forsee

For a moment we are living
For a second we perish
Remembering our mortality
Would do us a great deal

If I looked at the past then
As I look at it now
What beauty would I see

If I lived the past
as I wish to relive it
What pain would I avoid

Irony plays its part
Past distracts
Present intimidates
Future is assumed
Where am I now?
I wrote this while suddenly remembering lots of moments and factors of my past and I realized how quickly they all vanished and basically died. So many memories I will never be able to relive... quite depressing.

Kind of proud, but I wish I could use more/better metaphors...
