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.

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 ...

Love At First Sight

It was a really aimless day Til i saw her that day Her friends had gone She was sitting all alone Busy staring at her phone Like she's stuck and static Like she'd lost all her magic It made me feel empathetic But she still looked stunning I really felt like  approaching My emotions were spiking She had a gorgeous physic Like some marvelous mystic She had worn a fabulous fabric She looked cool so effortlessly Skin looked smooth seamlessly All in all looked good flawlessly So I decided to get up my chair But I guess my fate was unfair She was already part of a pair For she was waiting for her date Whom I guess was running late My heart dropped at a fast rate When he sat right next to her My eyes straight looking at her Still mesmerised at sight of her Her face had such a stunning glow My heartbeat was hitting like a blow I hoped we'd have a flow But i was dying on the low I later slowly took my seat I had to accept my defeat And catch up my heartbeat Then i heard somebody gre...

Prayer Full Poem

You don't need to kneel Or stamp on your heels It starts from your heart That feeds on your thoughts Your spirit news the mind On the words it receives Are you the curious kind On everything you perceive? Don't beg when you pray Stop repeating what you say But in your time of secret As you humble yourself Believe you have received And you'll surely have them It's like a deep well of faith And your bucket is the hope Which is willing to receive, First believe in the true God Then seek divine wisdom So you stop pushing on doors To which you hold the lock's key. Ignorance leads to death Knowledge preserves life, If you're not wise enough to learn how to swim The day that you'll drown Is the day you may die. Know how to swim before diving in Know how to pray before you kneel Learn how to get your results from prayer Before you blame God for not being there. Humble yourself before Him That you may be exalted Pray your faith never fails And you may not be tempted ...
