Tomorrow

Embedded image from another site


My self destructive button has been enabled
As I carve out the first piece for my table
Where I will sit alone having a dinner made for two
I watch the candles slowly burn until darkness fills the room
Then I light a cigarette to give myself an excuse
Tomorrow will be better if I choose
I know nothing in this world will last forever
Except the bitterness of asking God for favors
All I have I hold so dear to me
But it escapes through my eyes as they begin to bleed
Tomorrow will the angels sing a song for peace
I pull the covers to my neck, but I just cant sleep
I feel the presence of the devil inside my room
Satisfied that my love has been consumed
But I will find my way back into the morning light
I may be down but I wont give up the fight
You can bend my will, but I will never break
Tomorrow soon will come giving me another day
So I close my heart with my hands and face the night alone
Suddenly my shivers are gone as I embrace the cold
Before I know it tomorrows sunshine fills the room
And outside of my window I watch a flower bloom
Here and there and then I'm back here again
Sitting at my table without my only friend

Jesse, it's hard accepting ourselves as perhaps God's sees us? That could be true or not true?? Often i think we would be happier if we could envision His plan for us....Interesting introspective write....handshake
