The Future Thief

Waves of frustration crowd the eerie sea around me,

 

Dissapointed inside but i feel as if i cant be.

 

nothing to look forward to, nothing to look back,

 

My past is past, my present- a gift, my future, not a fact.

 

Here's to Feeling emotionally unable flooded by grief,

 

The future stole my past for this the future thief.

 

The late night rendezvous, the happiness astoundly.

 

But yet crying myself to sleep is often where i found me.

 

I sometimes wish that things never changed, nor my life just

left me standing

 

I'm alone in the middle of the ring, but somehow I'm still

panting.

 

 

 

Can't pretend I'm running cause i feel like I'm not moving,

 

There's so much that I'm fighting for but somehow I'm still

losing

 

A battle is not a battle unless the fight is fair

 

I blinked for a quick second life caught me unaware

 

But i guess that's just the future thief doing what it does

best,

 

It comes along surprises you and puts time to the test

 

 

 

Although this time has passed me by i complain its always

slow

 

Dealing with this pain all day is like walking barefoot in

the snow

 

Your not getting anywhere, your just hurting yourself more

 

i just pray that ill be thankful for what i was fighting

for.

 

 

 

So thank you future thief, for moving things along,

 

I will fight my war hoping I'm not wrong,

 

But also future thief please remember to keep in mind,

 

Send me strength, send me time, wherever i can find.

Well, thank you for pointing out the typos I wrote it when I was a freshman and then didn't check it when I posted it here, but for criticism to be constructive shouldn't you have something good to say as well. I mean the typos weren't even what the point of this site is. I wrote a poem, I may have spelled some things wrong but please next time, try to criticize more then just spelling.

There's a few typos here, but the worst is in the title. It does not predispose the reader to having high expectations.
