If We Are Ever to See It

You said we must become the change if we are ever to see it. And we changed, became everything we said we hated. Everything we were afraid of; now it defines us. We are our own monsters, bred in childhood bliss and ignorance. How often those two overlap. Change, we must. And not because of our fucked up past, but because of our fucked up future. We can't escape the present. The one time we tried to plan ahead, we broke every promise. I never wanted or meant to, but I had no choice; you wanted to see the change. We became.
