Live In the Now

Raw emotions Churns like oceans In my mind's eye And my heart's cry... Is left unheard again Where have you been? I will not worry I will not hurry I'm just concerned and I want the best for you My ego of I'm-better-than-you is thrown out the window and front door for you too Constructive criticism is what I need I don't want your destructive put-downs Humiliated as it already is...this engaging greed, I don't feed on, for it's not a good flower, but a bad weed Don't give me demoralizing comments that gives me unhappy frowns I earned the right To have standards of being a positive poet wholeheartedly I fight the good fight To have the aptitude and ability to move on to other substantial things fortunately We went through a De Ja Vu with a touch of Desperation Hey who are you to say that I'm an exasperation? I live to be a true role model inspiration I sacrifice myself for others' sensation "Live in the now" Is an Incredible saying...without saying I'm just saying Somehow I don't know how To respond to my endless, foolish praying Nobody cares about me...or at least it feels like it from so far away I'm so upset because I want the spotlight when everyone else steals it from me today I will be stronger than they'll ever know I will go where the wicked wind will blow I want to refrain from complaining No more name calling...self-sustaining Arrogant comments are not needed anywhere Refrain from driving me insane or in utter despair Even if it's just a hair... Yet, you still don't care Strikes me odd really that you are acting Real Nasty You're something else, unfeeling and sassy I'm not ready It's difficult being me I'm so unsteady Felt this uncertainty Throw me your confetti Celebrate my downfall with me I'm an overcooked spaghetti The trash will accept me possibly If I ran far away from yesterday, I would compete with tomorrow I'm in this race together with you I will regain the strength that shines anew
