Tomorrow's Yesterday


Waking up everyday in the same exact way
Cursing through the day same as yesterday
Dressing without worry like a lazy Saturday
Living a sorry life while awaiting end of day
I felt like a sad story under a cloud of gray
No where to go but I never wanted to stay
Wanting to be heard but had no word to say
Smiling with everyone who assumed I'm okay
Trusting in God that I should never go astray
Worried I'd never have something to die for
But praying I discover anything I could live for
Everyone else was nurturing talents to grow
Embracing what they believed was essential
I was watching and waiting for mine to show
At some point I felt I wasn't anything special
I kept my head down so no one could know
But the more they grew my worry got crucial
My life was like a stream with no current flow
Sounded like an off beat song with no intro

One day I chose to become introspective
Looking for one good thing that's addictive
So that I'd hold on to it till I get impressive
But the more I looked I got more indecisive
Everything I admired seemed so attractive
Though the more I tried seeking a purpose
I was forgetting to think about my calling.
Not so long in the search of completeness
I stopped moving and then started falling
As I was slowly drowning into darkness
Because I lacked a sense of discernment
I got involved in what they said was cool
As I saw them enjoy drinks and narcotics
Addicted to what seemed like happiness
But were being blind to the enslavement
I had to understand the sincere essence
And emphasize the need for amendment
While I desperately desired the assurance
That one day I'll enjoy true enlightenment
So that I'll bear fruit of my assertiveness
And finally embrace my entitled likeness.

I was easily using the stranger routes
I felt I'd be moving with faster means
As I was chasing my younger dreams
From boy, teenager and youth stages,
I wasn't seeking any of greater things
So I thought I should use simpler ways
But I didn't realize that smaller needs
Are the building blocks for bigger goals
And one crack could collapse a wall
Which I'd regret at the elapse of time.
Now I'm busy using threads of the future
While sowing with the needle of today
To fully mend all the holes in my past
Because my potholes made a bumpy road
Reaping damages that arrive in tomorrow
After sowing the bad seeds in yesterday
The thought of being spoilt seems funny
Until you begin to toil in your journey
I now regret small mistakes in the way
Believing I could've done so much better
I should've secured tomorrow's yesterday.

This isn't a message from anyone now
But a honest reminder from tomorrow
So you'll not have any regret or sorrow
If you're careful with habits you borrow
And take control with all competence
In order to ensure tomorrow's insurance
By starting to secure today's occurrences
You'll have a chance at a good experience.

Artistic Pleasure

Art is to express In order to impress So when they oppress We're left in distress We turn to the press We'll hold a congress To help us and address The issue under stress I can sincerely confess That hearts are tireless The passion is timeless The causes are countless And support is in greatness For the forces to suppress, We may be denied access To solve this and worry less Locked up by the heartless But our fueled spiritedness Exposes the pointlessness Of the people in highness To refer to us as hopeless For they're blind of the essence. Art takes a special process And unique will to progress That not so many possess To create it as seamless But to make it powerless Instead of freely limitless Deprived of its worthiness Can make it meaningless Suffocating to breathless, Let's strive for openness Avoid it getting worthless Adapt for it's sharpness Adorn it with smartness Save it from its dullness Let artists be border less And feel free to address Not feel robb...

The Guardians

The people that gave me life I choose to celebrate your life I haven't been open so often But ride along, recite this poem. From the first tear that I shed To the very first fear I ever had You would heal me from inside With every simple word you said, For every kind of bill you paid Every type of brick that was laid Every bed of mine that you laid Being like my personal maid I sincerely and fully appreciate. All effort of the two of you Puts a honest smile on my face, At times agile and on my case I belittled you and frowned my face But you modeled me into this vase You amended and gave me a base You helped me find dreams to chase And you prepared me to win my race Taught me how to tie my shoelace Loved for me to feel your embrace Fought for me to deserve a place Prayed for me to always be blessed Organized me and what I messed Talked to me and taught me lessons Sought for me to always blossom Loved me with care and affection Looked out for me with protection Did a lot that I may ...

In the Spotlight

You know that feeling when You do wrong to people And you're later forgiven But everytime with them It feels awkward again; Or when you dump her And then start to regret Because you want to go back But there's no way she'll accept. Those feelings of regret so heavy That you can't express freely Those mixed emotions so deadly They easily kill your personality And so painfully humiliating You walk with your head hanging. These embarrassing encounters Are experienced by everyone alive In many different scenarios: When they try to fit in new company And end up trying too hard to please When one stands up in protest And no-one stands with him Or when you meet that special person And get that weird feeling Which causes things to go wrong; But we focus so much on ourselves Forgetting others also do struggle, Every mind is dangerously fragile Every heart is easily broken And every soul can get lonely. You're in charge of who you are Many sugges...
