Today, Tomorrow's Yesterday.

*Today, Tomorrow's Yesterday*

People mostly talk of those nights, hardly do I ever hear them talk about those days. Days like this, days after long hours of working yourself out and have to be contented sleeping without really talking to the people you keep in touch  with on a daily.

Days like yesterday, where you had to leave them on unread just because you promised that the first blue tick was the last one. People hardly talk these days, you get the type of days am talking about?

What is a day? How can 24 hours of the involuntary  earth rotation on its own axis make life so difficult? Ever thought of that? I bet it, but all were waiting for me to write about so that you all can call me a confused lines man.

Okay, call me whatever you like but lets talk of yesterday, today and the day after tomorrow. Yesterday is the past, so I wont dwell to much on it lest you accuse me of clinging to much to the past.
Yesterday dictates how today will be. Its only Yesterday that gives you the opportunity to be someone better tomorrow.

Imagine life without Yesterday, how boring and uneventful would it be? Yesterday you gave her your number hoping that she will text when you get home. Yesterday you realised that not everybody that smiles with you is for you, Thanks to Yesterday you knew that some of these beautiful smiles are fake.

Yeah, I know I put fake and beautiful in once sentence and please try not to disagree or else I will have to tell them what you did Yesterday.

And if you thought I forget quickly, today is that day. That day when I have to keep up with all that I want to be tomorrow, So today I will write, not because I want but because tomorrow promises me of being a better writer. You don't agree with me? See what I wrote Yesterday and compare with that that I will write tomorrow.

Why cry today if you could tomorrow? Why fall in love Yesterday yet we got today? Why say lets meet tomorrow God willing yet we have now? Why curse your yesterday yet you can improve today?

So many questions today, got me confused about tomorrow, why didn't I ask myself all these yesterday? You have been at this point too.
Where time makes no sense, and the only day that seems to matter is your birthday. Before you give up, ask yourself if there was no Yesterday, would your birthday still be tomorrow?

We tend to hold ourselves back, clinging  onto things that matter no more. Its high time we have to accept that some songs only last a day, yet some have the recency of tomorrow. Its up to you to chose which tune you want to dance along to. But always keep in mind this question
"Now that today will be yesterday tomorrow, what will tomorrow bring?"

Artful Deception.

That morning, I stood rooted to the tiled floor with my hands on the poorly done window grills. I had been examining the structure that we called home. The Sun was lazy, casting weak monotonous rays on the ground. It had sufficiently rained the previous night and the air was still fresh.  Since my childhood, I had enjoyed the petrichor, it had a way of pumping life into my dead hopes, and couldn't wait for a few droplets of rain to hit the ground. It was a moment I always craved for. Half past seven in the morning, if not for the birds chirping so melodiously I wouldn't have travelled back to reality. "Normal is boring." I said to myself reaching for my phone that was religiously playing my favorite Bob Marley playlist. Nobody can stop reggae. The tweets that day were not as snappy as I would have wanted. Something was eating me up but still I couldn't figure it out, at least not at a time when Bob was reassuring that things would be alright. Music to me had alway

Please Get Tired.

I write, You notice, You assume, I get disconnected And curse. " It's hard to show love to a stone" of no worth it is  making love to a marble, Shinny and elegant, Only adapting to the degree of my loving when in the same room And nothing is the same when we hug and part ways. I write You marvel Share it to friends And say "That was master class" You find it hard to read between the lines. Not born for the art, so you wont relate Our connection is relative, Like an uncle to a niece It's hi when we meet and high time when we don't. I notice You care less I get disconnected I miss her But who listens? I refuse to build a foundation on a forced connection I don't want to end up losing myself when you finally slip away like she did. Please get tired, and let me try to win her love back. I write Get tired And hope That if tomorrow ever comes with the darkness it left with, Then I would sit and wait for her to come aroun

If Yesterday was Tomorrow.

And, if yesterday was tomorrow, What would you have done differently? Would you write that which the mouth was even afraid to whisper? Be a little bit poetic and feed the world with feelings, Just like any other slave of the pen? If yesterday was tomorrow_ Would you let the sun set with your heart still hurting? Would you  still call men dogs Just because a few like bones like you do? If yesterday was tomorrow, Would you talk of how it never comes And sing, hoping that You finally became a star? Would you share the last piece saved on your diary? Or, you would just have written another piece to entertain the skeletons in your closet, those that really never come out? If yesterday was to come after today would you still be talking of a having gruelling day and still seat and swipe your gadgets all night long lost in the virtual world? If yesterday was the day after today, Would you still claim to ride with your friends, Would you still talk of them the same way? For m
