The exams seem to be squeezing creativity out of me... Here's another poem you might not understand.. Cheers!

TIME CLICHES

I’ve been told many things

By all knowing grown-ups.

One of them is that

I must learn from my mistakes.

And so I remember from yesterday

All my wrongs

And do them right when I can.

I’ve also been told

To look ahead in life

And have goals and planning.

So I draw up timetables

Dream up dreams

And think about the future.

And when I’ve done all this

I hear them say

Don’t dwell in the past

Don’t lose your way in dreams

Live for today because

Today is a gift

I listen to all of them

Spout these time clichés.

And when I find myself stuck

Not knowing where to look

They all wonder why.
