The Yesterdays of Me

The Yeasterdays of Me I had felt defeated so long I accepted it And with that acceptance I accepted all that needed to be denied The failing The not taking care of my responsibilities Being ignorant of the consequences and how they affected me and others To let others take the blame for my mistakes not seeking wisdom through those mistakes But trying to let others suffer the consequences for my actions The procrastination The putting off till tomorrow When tomorrow is a gamble Because tomorrow is not promised The man who put off till tomorrow today died incompetent because he never finished what he started today blindly thinking he had tomorrow When today was his last day The mediocrity The letting barely be good enough Hindering the unlocking of my true potential Keeping myself ignorant of what I’ m truly capable of The negativity The allowing of others Ridicule, bad habits, and falsehoods In my surroundings The self-pity bringing upon self-loathing bringing upon a deep depression within me At this time I shut my eyes from the truth Purposely making myself ignorant of my problems because I felt convenience in not knowing With not knowing the need for change is not known Yet the need is still there But as life goes on people grow As I did And through growth the acceptance of that bitter taste of defeat slowly began fading away with a sweet taste being victorious I end this to be continued Because I have yet to do all that is needed to be done And this poem shall go on till it is all done But since no more has been done I can go no further Just reminisce on my yesterdays so they won’t happen today....
