Living For Today

My heart left in yesterday
My mind set on tomorrow
Living for today
 
Stuck like glue & cemented in blue
I want to stop caring at all
Be a spot on the wall
not noticed until it becomes a stain
of unrealized pain
remembering all those nightmares again
 
My heart left in yesterday
My mind set on tomorrow
Living for today
 
Let love come back to stay
By keeping my thoughts above the fray
not for yesterdays or tomorrows
nor dreams or sorrows
Red will out shine gray
 
Stay still and pray
Someday
one day
Until then, I will be
Living for today

I really enjoyed your poem. I am trying to be more "present" myself living for today and not tomorrow or in yesterday! Good write!
