THIS MOMENT

this moment
i own it
this is my style
declared without denial
my ideal of what's real
i feel it
can't peel it off
excuse me while i cough
and say again, my friend
i own this moment
and refuse atonement
for right or wrong
to me it belongs
for better, for worse
my blessing, my curse
i would not take it back
not take another track
i won't live with regret
although, please know
i don't forget
and you can more than bet
this moment 
is all you're ever guaranteed
thoughts of tomorrow tend to mislead
so take this moment
​and own it.
