Analysis of Time Travel (part 1)



If I went back in time
Would it be, to the same universe,
Or another version of me
Would I learn who laid the curse

Would it be a mess there
Of puberty, self-esteem and hate
The digust of self and others
The world isn't free, so lets debate

Maybe, I could tell him
That life, is for living
So, just go far away
And allow some forgiving.
