Three years from today?
Three years from may day
Imminent crash comes
As I thrash and sum
Life’s not adding up
I need to ante-up
But I am all in
I am still falling
Failing, flailing, frail
My youth’s setting sail
My future window
Close to a win though
Hope, pray, it plays out
Make coffee more stout
The window’s dirty
My sight’s not worthy
Is the light a trick?
Does the light come quick?
Light in the tunnel
But train of trouble
Three years from today
I will be okay
The window is smudged
Boulder will not budge
But I’m still rolling
Midnight hour tolling
Work for a living
Something is giving
The future’s brighter
Plight of a writer.
What does your life look like three years from now?
