Hindsight

I thought I had found peace

     When really I was depressed

And when I thought I found love

    It turned out to be nothing but lust

I thought my life was chaotic 

    But that was when I was the happiest

And when I thought I had lost

    I got lost in thought 

I thought I was awake

     When I was only dreaming 

And what I thought was all in the mind 

   Turned out to be real

And what I assumed was intuition 

    Was just everything a human can feel

What I saw as a path

   Faded away 

    And all of the ways I could go

    Opened up for me 

What I thought was just a moment 

    Was all of infinity 

And what I thought was forever 

    Was just a place to be
