Can You Live with What You Do Today?


Can You Live with What You Do Today? So young energetic and full of life, what you do today should be something to think about twice. Your actions is designed to catch someone eye, wearing provocative clothing leave little to hide. Sashaying your hips and tilting your head signal to some men that you are not hard to get into their bed. Painting your body to say that you’re a freak, not caring that in the future that you not someone anyone wants to see. But you’re young, you don’t care about any of that, what you don’t know is that your figure won’t last and that’s a fact. When you see an older lady that you say she let herself go, she was once a young woman with a figure like yours and she also loved to show. She too didn’t care about her future and now she’s full of regrets, taking care of four hungry children she now can only dream of success. She cries herself to sleep wishing she could change her past, looking at herself in a mirror wondering why time doesn’t last. She remembers following the crowd and impressing her friends, but when the children came none was there at the end. With four mouths to feed she had to fend for herself, a hard lesson to learn that there’s little help. Now here you and your crew come so fit and trim, when seeing you girls she thought I use to be just like them. Not caring about today or even seeing past tomorrow, can anyone make you see that your future could be filled with sorrow. So, a question still remains can you live with what you do today, yes, your days are sunny now but can quickly turn to gray. Written by: Allthemanuneed Poetic Stories ®
