grasp now

By prettyhatemachine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

the beat of the drum steadily beating time is constantly fleeting now is the time dont ask why tomorrow may not come tomorrow may die grasp hold of the present for now is what matters the future may hold dreams that are shattered the war inside isn't over and it can't be easily won take control now or your world will come undonei think this poem really sucks but it's the way i feel so i just wrote it to get out my expression. i find it really corny like sumthing they wud post in school to tell children to not do drugs or something. i still think it speaks out well though by saying that tomorrow may never come and you can still live for tomorrow and enjoy today.
