Questions For Later, Then & Now
How many more times can I ask myself the same questions?... over, and over, and over again.
I'm fast enough to run away, but‐
Where would I go?
Not everything I pass, stays in the past‐
And what if I crash?
What will I do?... Then?
Certainly, I'd have to stop at some point...
But I'm chasing no particular point in the future,
And everything but time, I'm taking
But to turn around to see no one chasing‐
What will I do?... Now?
Could I go back?
How?
Do I even want to?
Do I even want to know?...
If anyone knows where I am‐
No one knows where I've been‐
How can I expect them to know where I am...
Now?
I don't even know where I'm going
Or what I was running from anyway‐
Was I just running to keep up with myself?
If not even I can...
Then surely no one else can either‐
But how far could I really go?
On purely speed alone‐
How many days can I skip?
Before I'm all out‐
And if I trip...
What will I do?... Then?
It's not a race I'm trying to win
I know that
No one's chasing me
I knew that
I've gotten back up, but‐
What will I do?... Now?
I'm fast enough to run away, but‐
From what?

Josh Morgan
Personally, writing began as a creative outlet, to be a means of processing and venting emotion, but it has become so much more. Something I want not to be just relatable, enjoyable and a good read, but to reach someone who is in need.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
