If I had a chance
To turn back time,
I'd take the chance
With a steady mind.

I close my eyes
And turn the clock.
I wake up in the bed
One year in the past.

Events reoccur
Without me knowing,
That you can't change the past,
But you can keep going.

© Joseph S., San Anselmo, CA

The author's comments:
You can't change the past. It just is. Even if you had the chance to go back in time, you'd never know that you went in the past. You'd just repeat every single event that happened in the past. Just only feeling the uneasiness of deja vu.
