Broken Promises And Cups Of Orange Juice

I cannot be patient for the time when
my life will become memorable-
these things can take a lifetime,
or even longer.
so while you sit on your couch,
wondering if you could become someone worthwhile,
(A plastic cup of orange juice in your hand and tv remote in the other)
remember that this precious life of yours
is something so beautiful and real-
and that these endless ties of hope that your life will be more than what it is now-
will slowly eat your days away
until all your left with
is a mind full of regrets
and frail hands and graying hair
and a broken promise that you made to yourself:
life will always wait for you.

Hello! Yes, I am alive- I have a lot of excuses as to why I was gone for an entire month, but I assume you would not be very interested  in my boring explanation, so let's just jump in:
Writers experience writers block. Basically, that's it. I didn't find any inspiration to write, so I paused, looked around, and tried to find ideas for writing. It was a slow process, but I think I am getting back on track.

That is also  part of the explanation as to why I have not been uploading in my Hidden Galaxies Poetry Club. The main reason why I haven't uploaded another challenge is because I do not have any submissions! Pretty simple. If you guys would like more challenges, please contribute and submit your guy's poems. Thank you.

Question: why do you guys like to write?
Answer: I do, because I enjoy watching other people read my work- it makes me feel really accomplished. Also, because it is a big passion for me and I enjoy doing it.

I'd like to hear your guy's feedback!!
