There’s a Tomorrow

There’s a tomorrow
which you will never see, never feel, never know
There’s that moment
where you can see it all, a chance to save it
Like a house of cards
so fragile, a slight breeze will knock it down
Between it all
you will wish, you will want, you will try
and it will all slip right through your fingertips
somehow, you managed to fail
You’re grasping at straws, trying to move along
while someone else is trying to prove you wrong
chastising, berating, making you doubt yourself
You pick yourself up, try to push on through
try to ignore the pain, the wounds and everything else
What keeps you going?
What are you fighting for?
Why not give up?
Is what they say to you…
They rub it in your face
your defeat, your failure, your mistake
Yet you still keep going
keep fighting, keep hoping, keep dreaming
It’s overwhelming, daunting, a challenge
you want to cry, you want to die, you want to hide
Will it all end in failure?
Will it all end in happiness?
or will it all end before you get that chance?
