"Life Line."Fast forward twenty years to the stage when I am far older, I find myself jaded.Sitting somberly, rewinding time to the point where I amtwenty years younger.I find myself pretentious.Trapped between a rock and a hard placeI fall back into clich, tired termsThat I thought I had leftFading with the past.So come what...
