Lost In The Present Poem by Gabriel Mapati

Lost In The Present

Rating: 5.0


"Give up" voices shout in my head.
Confused I am.
My innocence betrayed by chancers.
My heart trampled upon by fake love.
I look back and see nothing but broken dreams and promises.
Only a few I feel proud of accomplishing, yet they all seem worthless.
I cry yet no tears fall.
I scream yet no voice comes.
I peek at my future and only bliqueness I see.
Though I try to stop, time keeps on ticking.
I run after it but I just can't keep up.
The world spins and I lose focus that I had so little of.
Is this it? Is this what the future holds for me?
Questions without answers.
I wonder about the future yet I'm lost in the present.
