regrets living life to fast.

TOMORROW November 2013 I used up my future in the past. Now I have no home here. I am only using this bridge, this twilight to stay afloat. Too much, too fast. Living life to the fullest- Life to the brim. A life too exciting - too curious. Too zealous Right now, meant I wanted It yesterday- Yesterday couldn't wait another day. too crazy- too impatient Legacy of my blood- even. Nine months was too long. Too angry-too brave, To strong-tied down No way no how. Never waited for things to come my way gotta have what I need, now. Missed a heap of blessings by leaving too soon- Puff I am gone-. If you see me now - you won't see me later. I used up my future in the past. Now I have no home here I have no now at last. Took all my turns to fast. I am only using this bridge, This twilight to stay afloat. I used up my future too fast My Boat came in and docked landed -and left me stranded in the past. Been there done that. knew that--forgot that Al that- Nothing left for me to do or say Can’t duck my fate Too late to play it straight took the bend in the road Arrived early at the end of my earthly soul. Too impetuous. I've been told. There's nothing else new- under the sun For me to do. Much too impetuous I've been told lived above my means. I Was Before my own time, now old. Much too bold- My Future has been bought and sold. I can't even wait for death... cool and deadly on his breath- Sleepless nights enough regrets. I will begin again to replay my hedonistic sins. As I Fast Forward to the here and now So tired from my reckless past. Finally, Inertia has Closed my eyes and so, for me there's rest at last...
