Lost in Time
Chained...
Imprisoned by the harsh reality that tomorrow will always be a mystery
and today can never be erased
...every moment is crucial
I look back on yesterday
critiquing the minutes that i actually used for something significant
Only to be disappointed by the hours I've wasted entertaining
the demons of my conscience
...My angels have yet to show
Seconds before i self-destruct
Days before anyone notices
For months I've tried to tighten my loosened ties
But years of carelessness have severely damaged the ropes
Sooner than later
I hope to realize my purpose
Accept their love
Reject the need to forcibly push towards my future
...Just so i can pull away from my past
Presently,
I walk in the shadows of the unknown
For forever is nonexistent
Never is the road to failure
The only thing left to do
...is live for right now

A well thought out, well constructed poem.
Light and easy on the eye.
A possible area for improvement - try and avoid capital letters at the start of each line, also, you have a 'non-cap' 'i' in 3rd stanza.
These are trivialities however and don't detract from this fine poem.
Well done
