Sieve

Sifting through past thoughts
Picking apart each memory
To justify today's emotions
They come in waves to toy at me

Did I always feel this way
Or did I convince myself later on
Did each thing matter quite so much
Or did I raise them with the dawn

All of life is perspective 
It changes day by day
Altering the past
Silently fading old thoughts away

Trying to decide what to think
Trying to remember who I was before
Trying to keep everything
While trying to be so much more

Trying to make sense
Out of ever shifting memories 
Trying to find something solid 
The truths bend in the breeze 

All of life is perception 
Trying to show you through my eyes
How all of it is sieving chaos
Lost in endless skies
