Howdy ☺

I’m going to review your work! ☺

The first thing I notice is the formatting. Right now it just looks like a couple of sentences. Try formatting it like this?

The past is behind us,
d future is ahead....
live in d present
that's all we have to do,
in other to defeat the obstacle
in Life


Now for the nitty gritty…

The past is behind us,
d future is ahead....

Okay it should be ‘And’ instead of ‘d’. A full stop is necessary rather than an ellipsis. My problem with this is it’s obvious. Obviously the past is behind and the future is ahead. I don’t see the point of this.

live in d present
that's all we have to do,

Okay I suggest some minor changes. Perhaps it could read:
Live in the present
Is all there is to do.

in other to defeat the obstacle
in Life

I think you mean ‘In order to defeat the obstacles in life.’

Honestly I don’t understand this poem, could you perhaps explain it?

Hey..
Nice poem, but I suggest (for next time) writing the poem more neatly.... Make "the" instead of "d".... You're too cool to do that!? LOL :P
Just Kidding.

Brief and true!
Always nice to use both as one for a change.

Keep Writing,

Your hesitation suggests you are trying to protect my feelings. However, since I have none, I would prefer you to be honest. An artist's growth depends upon accurate feedback.
