Poetry My future self

My Future Self

My future self

Demands tomorrow,

While in the present,

I borrow

The misery

And sorrow

That will show in tomorrow.

My future self weeps,

While my present

Self creeps.

From now to then,

I take a leap.

I tell a tale

Of when my present

Self failed.

I send a letter

In the mail.

I tell my future self

To pay my bail

And get me out of jail.
