Bold as...?? (Poem)

It's all in you now; it's in me too, I should say...
It's creeping in softly - softly, silently, stay.
All we try for is now! not later, and not before.
We work for the habit, a product, a score.
In doing so swiftly, keep finding a catch:
Procuring the secrets; the itches we scratch.
Hidden problems and questions we put on a list.
They all bite their tongues, while we clench our fists.
In doing so kindly, just cover the flaws:
Bottle up all the lies and hide them in walls
like they'll never be seen - like they don't have enough ears!
Eat your hefty portion of triumph, and we'll all drink to our tears.
Fate, be it the destination, is always in the way.
Life follows through, regardless, with the words we can and can't say.
Love is the bitter sweet reminder that nothing ever lasts:
We kill for moments gone, and always live in the past.
To death: I commend you, you never let anyone down.
The one thing we can all count on: losing life's crown.
The world is the embodiment of perfection lost to grace.
Tomorrows just a question mark: a head without a face.
