I am a time-traveler

I have been gifted the ability to move through time

Time is a concept we created:

A minute is sixty seconds

An hour is sixty minutes 

A day is twenty-four hours

A week is seven days

A year is twelve months

A decade is ten years

A century is a hundred years

Yet I possess the ability to go back to the past

I can remember the sights, the scents, the sounds

The nostalgic memories that encapsulate me

I can feel the happiness I once felt

Like I am repeating the moment

But I also have the ability to transport myself to the future

Envisioning my life in a day from now, a year even

Like I am predicting my fate,

manifesting the life of success I created for myself

A dream, a goal that is barely out of reach

However, this time-traveling affects me

It gives me the challenge of staying in the present,

living in the moment 

where happiness and success already lay

I need to stay here

Because the present is my past

and it will also be my future
