The Yesterday My Tomorrow Brings

 

As I look to tomorrow

How will I look back on today?

Will I see it in the same light?

Will it help me find my way?

 

Yesterday is now gone

In the books it is said

But still, it lingers

Deep in the depths of my head

 

How much longer

Can I go on like this?

Wondering what will become of me

Is there something I missed?

 

Like an hourglass

The time passes by

Each grain of sand

Of when, how and why

 

I know, I know

Don’t overthink it

But it’s in the glass

And I’m inclined to drink it

 

Cause that’s what I do

I think till I’m drunk

Till I can’t think anymore

And my head goes kaplunk
