Present.

My past is not the problem
My future's still to come
At present the voices scream
They shout and scare me
Echoes from my past?
I don't think so
My past is irrelevant
My future's uncertain
But the present is tough
My wrist aches
Churning out meaningless words
Whilst the voices ridicule
The snakes writhe around me
This is not due to my past
And if you help me, it will not be my future
But it is my present
And I don't like it
Please help me
Please.
