Tomorrow will be better
You’ll be wiser, stronger, older.
Yesterday is easiest,
But only since it’s over.
Put it off,
Procrastinate,
Put tickers to the test.
The clock is running,
Time is up,
Are you happy yet?
Nothing weathered,
Something better,
What I look forward to.
Tomorrow’s empty promises
Will never follow through.
