So long Yesterday...Hello Tomorrow.
I took my sh#t and split
So long Yesterday...Hello Tomorrow. I took my crap and split.
So Long Yesterday, So long,
Your dust clings no more. I packed my bags of sorrow, left them at the door.
Hello, Tomorrow...you gleam like sunrise gold, a promise in the distance, new stories to unfold.
No chains, no echoes, no burdens to lift. I took my crap and split---watch me drift.
So Long, Yesterday,
Goodbye to shadows, to echoes that won’t fade, to footprints in the silence where memories used to play.
Hello, Tomorrow...you gleam like sunrise gold, a promise in the distance, new stories to unfold.
No chains, no echoes, no burdens to lift. I took my crap and split---watch me drift.
The road is mine now, open wide and free, where hope hums softly like waves on the sea.
Wind in my pockets, light in my stride, Tomorrow is waiting---I’ll meet it with pride.
I took my sh#t and split.
Tomorrow's got more of the spirit I'm looking for!
So long Yesterday...Hello Tomorrow!

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Awesome!!!, and this is an outstanding writing skill.
Lay down the burdens of yesterday to anticipate the yet as empty hands of tomorrow. But right now in the present my hands are still full!
Well-wrought! Free verse though it is, there's also a cadence here which could yield a really awesome song, Antoni!
But how about today? Lol. Loved your poem!
Feels like freedom and a fresh start. Wishing you all the best on the road ahead!
Diggin' this attitude & anthem! Very inspiring my friend! 🌸
I liked the optimism of this but also the anger - the "I'm done".
Is this gonna be your tat Antoni!? “I took my shit and split”. 😁 Just kidding I don’t think this is for a challenge but perhaps it is, who knows.😅 I liked the light and shade here. Letting go is hard to do, but I enjoyed the gumption of this piece. 💚😊
Yesterday is a piece of history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift from heaven. Cherish today as if it were a gift. Yesterday has passed, and tomorrow has yet to come. Make the most of today, cherish and enjoy it, for tomorrow may not come.
