I've kind of been doing this self evaluation thing lately. Some of it's because I've been goin' to church, some of it is the fact that I'm about to be 24 and haven't done ANY of the things I said I was going to.
What happened to me?
I was supposed to write this big time novel.
I was supposed to publish a few poems.
I was supposed to be a teacher.
I was supposed to be stable; a working car, a place to call my own.
Then I think...
High school ended.
I come up with excuses.
Joey died...
Now I think, why did that have to stop me? How it's just an excuse.
Truth be told.. It hurt when he left.
And it still does.
Sure, I'm in college, have my AA, about a year and a half out of my B.A. But at 22/23 I should have been done. I should be in a classroom doing what I feel I'm supposed to do. And what's my excuse?
If anything, I've learned about the "we're not promised tomorrow" because of it. But learning something, and applying something are two different things.
I think it's time.
Time to stop with all the excuses and do everything I aspire to be. I have SO many ambitions!
Time to stop with all the negativity. I LOVE the positive energy I feel when I feel it! There's not so much weight on my shoulders; I can breathe!
It's time to be optimistic. To look at our glasses as MORE than just half full!
We're not given tomorrow.
Let's seize today!
What About Me?
- MissK505
- I'm a writer. End of story. Actually, the beginning, but close enough. I discovered my talent around the age of 12 though I did not fully put it to the test until my sophmore year of high school. It was an English teacher who recognized my talents and help me push to be better. I took a poetry class in college that opened my eyes up to the world of poetry. I learned many forms, as well as exercised them. August 13, 2007: a day that has changed me forever. You see, I lost my best friend that day; 14 years gone and all I'm left with is memories. With that being said, my writing went MIA for three years, and now, it's SO much different then what it used to be. Take it or leave it; you need my words in your life.

If tomorrow never comes...
If tomorrow never comes,
cry only for a little while
for there are many memories to hold on to
If tomorrow never comes,
cherish my love for music
as well as my love for poetry
If tomorrow never comes,
be not ashamed of the secrets to be revealed
for they are now all that is left
If tomorrow never comes,
I'm sorry, I tried
but I just haven't tried hard enough
If tomorrow never comes,
I've made many mistakes
but they have defined me
If tomorrow never comes,
remember my dreams and aspirations
cry because of my lack of motivation
If tomorrow never comes,
realize, that I realized
I didn't act soon enough with my gift
If tomorrow never comes,
promise me some things;
promise me that you'll never go to bed mad
that you'll send a simple text message just to say you're sorry
promise me that you'll be forgiving
and remember, I tried my hardest at that too
promise me you'll say "I love you" to those you truly do
and don't forget to love on your animals too
promise me you'll do something for the kids'
they're the hope we must hold on to
promise me that you'll stand up for what is right
a little rebellion is needed for success
promise me that you'll be giving
and that you'll do onto other what should be done onto you
If tomorrow never comes
let it be known that everyone who I ever met
we shared an experience
and whatever experience that might have been
Thank you
Because if tomorrow never comes
you all must be told how important you are
how you matter
and how precious life truly is
A gift
