A Better Tomorrow

A Better Tomorrow

A person cannot fully live in the present
if they are chained to their past...
They cannot look foreward to the future
to any future that will last.
The past is a place you never forget,
but you must be willing to leave it alone...
if you continue to go back to it,
your future is forever lost and unknown.
The future belongs to those who remember the past,but are willing to leave it behind...
if they do not,they are doomed to relive their past,
with no future ahead of them to find.
So don't waste your life caught in yesterday,
for your yesterdays are full of sorrow...
Try instead to enjoy your now and today
and you'll always have " A better tomorrow."

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
