There's No Tomorrow Today (A Day in Tha Life)
by Demetrice. Prince (@DPrinceWrites)

I've seen it all before,
I've heard the harshest of words,
I've tasted the most bitter of bitter defeats,
And received the coldest of all cold shoulders.


The walls have caved in,
Destroying everything that has been so masterfully built up,
Reducing it to a pile of meaningless ruble.


I cannot be bothered with trivial mishaps.
There's no room for trial and error.
Everything has to be beyond flawless.
The time to be rebuild has come.
And I must embrace the task with open arms and mind.


The future doesn't matter now.
I am too focused on today.
Today things have to happen,
Good things,
Today I have to succeed,
If I don't there will be no tomorrow.

Good girls gone bad

by Bianca  

Sweet little girls aren't forever: Once they were innocent, but time past & they became someone new Thought they had it all figured out and knew exactly what to do. Grew up fast & in their minds; "girls had to be their prettiest all the time". Sweet little girls aren't forever: They use to like smelling flowers & playing with dolls, now she's out late with boys not thinking about anything at all. To them nothing seems to matter, but little do they know those bad boys will make their hearts shatter... into tiny pieces they can't put back together & soon or later she is facing horrible weather... Sweet little girls aren't forever: Thinking they were very clever, but easily persuaded and awakened by reality she saw that her life and opportunities faded... Away it went like the sun in the sky, except it didn't come back and all Hopes & Dreams had died. Another Brick on the wall  by jimi Abstract mentality raised to be casualty of reality Lost throughout the suns rays searching for a balance thats going to last me for more than a few days Another strange face in the crowd keeping my vision low to the ground mutual understanding  never seems to be easily found A fool on the hill watching the wheels go round  out of tune with no thoughts of calibration any time soon Misaligned from the basic perception hard to define  not a stranger to the rejection hesitated breaths as the  years continue to progress many unanswered questions add to an unrelenting stress The seemingly perfect solutions never truly solve the lingering confusion dealing with the blues  painting various hues with twenty six worn out letters Most of what I say comes out hieroglyphic far from simplistic often misunderstood better left unheard The reason at each intersction  I make a left turn don't mind me just a nowhere man  lost without a reasonable plan Searching the atmosphere for someone who truly understands  willing to lend me a hand when I'm stranded out in the sand next  to the unforgiving ocean one of the few acknowledging  my emotions to be more than mental distortions Each deceased day brings me closer to the realization  that I'm becoming comfortably numb to the commotion  making the best out of the deficits surrounded by the worlds negatives wise enough to realize ignorance isnt bliss yet some  truths continue still to slip through my fists......<
