Living Like No Tomorrow

Recklessly and hopelessly I lived,
For there's no tomorrow I believed,
Carving my each day as I liked.
Overpowered by my youth so esurient,
Crammed me with unbridled excitement,
For pleasures with the scent of bliss so evanescent.
Not too long I did take to realize,
I drifted away from the orbit,
I am destined to revolve as a planet.
I find myself standing still,
When onrushing folks advanced and thrived around me,
Wish I cremate the slothful me,
And invoke the old diligent me.
How I crave for a leap!
To forget all the doldrums I reaped.
Feels like time's ripened,
To wipe away what's happened,
To sieve the unwanted in me,
To revive the undaunted in me.
Cautiously marching toward,
Making each moment in hand,
Worthy enough to be remembered,
By my lineage to be followed.
