There Is a Tomorrow

I always think, there is a tomorrow.
think I m still young, still there is time
i can catch up, when the world is asleep.
but really, is there a tomorrow?

i postpone things, i can relax a bit.
whats the rush i ask? 
think of the poor , ugly & under privileged.
I am still young, and I got the looks.

i want to read, live a disciplined life
i want to look back and say,that's a life.
dreams are still dreams, and i ask why
oh well, forget it, there is a tomorrow.

older i get, weaker i am.
dreams without action, turns into just wishes.
i blame the world, the people, and God.
i don't belong here, for I live in tomorrow!

You shouldnt blame others for your dreams becoming wishes. If ou truely want them to become a reality then you must chase them. Living for tomorrow can be good, but if you live such disiplin, and know no excitment and happiness in your life, then what is the point?? Good write. ~Jese
