It's a New Day

No worries 
it's a new day
fastening from my vices 
because life doesn't play
the little games we get distracted by
no effort and success don’t see eye to eye

because time has us caged in
by a certain age we think we need to win 
if not, then we feel like were in the abyss
not fun when you keep shooting and still miss 

eventually you'll score 
right now, your aim is poor 
you have other things on your mind
things that would never give you anytime

you'll learn with age
there's something different written on each page 
you're not in control of events
 but in control of your reactions
let your intellect be seen in all your actions

Don't let them stick you with stigma
they want to know your business
keep up that enigma 

but no worries 
it's a new day 
moderated my vices
because with my life, I won't play
the little games we get distracted by
no effort and success don’t see eye to eye

The mind stresses

Past and future sleeps with me
 Stress levels are on a killing spree
 responsibilities on top of wonders of who I am to be 
 I don't know which right now is more important to see

 My age has got me scared of the clock
 pushing me to join the rest of the flock  
I don't know if I’ll achieve all I want before Death's knock

contemplating on what's not known to me yet
tossing back and forth about what I regret
 meanwhile praying that God has something already set

 Insecurities have a place in my bed
 doubtful voices have a place in my head
 despite the encouraging words that you said
 despite the philosophies that I have read
 Keep it up and depression and I might wed 
and won't be apart till I’m dead 

 sweepstakes for a briefcase and an office on the top floor 
So much money on uncertainty going out the door 
 still at the casino dishing out more 
because trying has always been the core 

 or something like that... 

                                                                                                                                                B.W

No matter how hard you try to erase the past, it happened.
