Worry
In this day, there was truth
Thinking of wasteful years drowning in blinded tears
Wasting away
Atrophy takes to life; infiltrating the perceptional view
Left to vices the world has taught all that makes you
Continuance of all the same faults
In tomorrow, there is no life
And yesterday has expired
We all live in increments of twenty-four hours
This is where all desire should rest
Not on future or past
Sure is death when life is relying on the next breath
Not holding the moment's gifts
Unseen; dream the dream
What is left when worrisome, death awaits new breath
Nothing seemingly to have one sad
Ragingly mad, unknowing what the next day will offer
