We Live For Today

All this time who was I to think I could ever be someone to you

Hopelessly believing in this broken spirit of mine to love you

And as we all come down from our throne of conceit in the clouds

I find it easy to understand what I knew wasn't you

We wait and watch as we feel ourselves become suffocated by our halos

Time finds it easier to mingle with our thoughtless minds

Broken and un-wanted I believed in this worthless feeling I felt for you

But now my still-born heart can't believe anything anymore

Deformed and lifeless we walk the streets of deceitful temptations

Winds of summer heat remind us we are still alive and going nowhere

But nowhere is somewhere to someone who is really no one

So why are we so afraid of what is really our home?

But we keep walking and waiting for something in us to change

Hoping for a miracle to spare a thought our way

Like the dawn of yesterday is the dusk of tomorrow

But in the search of the human race, we still live for today

Author's Note

Even though it might seem like it, there isn't a rhyme scheme in this poem, ha ha.

only certains parts rhymed but I didn't think it was on purpose. The first stanza bugs me, only because at the end of every line you use the word 'you'. Also the punctuation put's me off a bit, I kind of have to imagine where the commas and full stops are, where you want me to stop or keep going ya know?
Other than that, I really liked it, it had a slow pace and even flow, was easy to read but I didn't feel as if you've dumbed it down. The idea was good.

I could tell there wasn't a rhyme scheme really, but I love it, it's amazing. I hope the rest of your works is as beautiful as this. :) good write.

I like this one. Read it over a few times but i still can't find what it is about it that i like, but it was really good. i think its about loving someone but then finding that they aren't who you thought they were, and then not sure what to think or feel or believe in anymore. In the end, its not about that exactly, but living for today, searching for something to change. - that's what i got out of it anyhow.

Well done!
