When

And where

By AZIAKPONO OVWEDEPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Rise or fall Run or walk Good or bad I've cared not I've merely lived in the turmoils of simplicity with rapt attention to my weaknesses in the gutters of my mistakes watering and cultivating the dark edges of my mind coming before the world, covered in the filth of my naked truths without shame it's how I've lived In a world of tomorrows where I do it never where the sun rises with the plans of today and sets with the plans of the day to come both undone. where today doesn't exist and yesterday never was in my waking hours I've hid from today it is too ugly to confront in my slumber I've seen tomorrow it is beautiful it's where I lived Belief my backbone I hung my life on it its lead I have followed when it said, "tomorrow will be great" I concurred and rested and waited for tomorrow when it said "your past matters not" I threw it all away. the experiences and lessons, I dug a pit dumped them all and kept them buried never to be haunted by them As a new man, I made new mistakes new lessons A circle of learning to fail and failing to learn. for the belief of a better tomorrow today has remained buried and yesterday never was!
