Enigmatic Me
Forever is a long time
tomorrow never comes
yesterday is so far away
I waste my time
and that’s a crime.
Destiny goes unfulfilled
the shape of things to come
the lottery is never won
fate knows the score
forevermore.
My lifeline tells me nota
my fortune can’t be rushed
good things take time
to ascertain
so an enigma I’ll remain.

nota=slang for nothing
My life remains a puzzle slowly coming together with pieces bent and missing that may be lost for good. How would I know?

Prefer the use of enigma… usually as a rules of thumb nouns and verbs are stronger than adjectives.

Hmmmm…..not sure, but possibly I like “an enigma I’ll remain” slightly more. Both work well. I’ve been waiting so long I am turning into stone, lol. (Just kidding!)
