Yesterday I Crave Not Poem by John Chizoba Vincent

Yesterday I Crave Not



Yesterday saw my tears panting
Today won't see it again panting
I was shot out of life yesterday
But still I rise today beautifully
The night that howled at me was
the same night that manipulated them.



If you are looking for me yesterday
Find me today among the successful
Fear blurred my vision yesterday and
My feet couldn't move an inch but now
They do because I watered my today
Yesterday with the pain that shot me.



I urge you not to give up in your chase
I pray for everyone who has seen their
Ears with their eyes in yesterday' trouble
Weep not, today shall strengthen you more
I beg you to keep moving at your pace
What yesterday couldn't give, you see today.



Many died in their prime yesterday
But you pass through that horrorable
Incident that almost claimed your life
And you live on today by his Grace
Today shall be better to you when you
Waters it with the vision of a conquerer.



My eyes once cried before them
My brain screamed and cursed me
Behind, I was left to die and rot but
Today saw me through with ease
For the first time I know what is like
To visit death and shake his hand.


To you that cry without mouth
I shall see you through my nose
When the aroma of suffering
Shall present herself shall I hunt for you
To rescue you before death comes
Don't give up on yourself, yesterday is gone
Face today with another spirit that is pure.
