Tomorrow, the wasted opportunity
Today, the lifeless moment
Yesterday, forgotten unnecessarily
Until we can't live in the present
Yesterday is never thrown away
Because we keep going back to it
Every new day lived in vain
Taken for granted repeatedly
Tomorrow isn't there entirely

The cracks slowly open up
To devour the day before
Tomorrow depends on today
Don't take today in vain
It's not just another day

Time slips away
Today is a new beginning
To everything
Yesterday slipped away unnoticed
To begin today

High hopes and high dreams
All for nothing, yet survival
In the world we live in
Opportunities never used
Lifeless as it may seem
To live only in memories
Day after day of uselessness [comments] => 7 [counter] => 154 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Lived in Vain

Tomorrow, the wasted opportunity
Today, the lifeless moment
Yesterday, forgotten unnecessarily
Until we can't live in the present
Yesterday is never thrown away
Because we keep going back to it
Every new day lived in vain
Taken for granted repeatedly
Tomorrow isn't there entirely

The cracks slowly open up
To devour the day before
Tomorrow depends on today
Don't take today in vain
It's not just another day

Time slips away
Today is a new beginning
To everything
Yesterday slipped away unnoticed
To begin today

High hopes and high dreams
All for nothing, yet survival
In the world we live in
Opportunities never used
Lifeless as it may seem
To live only in memories
Day after day of uselessness

Days dawn in yesterdays past,
As I see sometimes, time flies then the day is gone, With nothing but a memory of it.
Very well written, and with a story and message within each word.
It was a beautiful read and I am glad I did, to such talent at play.
Thanks for sharing and allowing me to enjoy such poetry.
