Overhyped Kit Cats

They said you were full of promise,
Of talents, wonders galore,
And they swore you'd rise to the occasion,
That I would need no consolation.
But you know, soothseers can be wrong,
For they apparently are only as right as me,
For you see, these overhyped kit cats
Really have a hold on me.

My compadres tell me that there will be another day,
But now, I feel, would've been as good as tomorrow.
History writes books, and today isn't looking good,
Or yesterday, or the past several years drawn.
Look at what needs to be met, thoses promises,
All that good stuff you, friend, said, would come to pass.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, it all really matters,
But those overhyped kit cats simply won't reach their star.
