Are days.

Yesterday, I
I
That is to say, I
Yesterday, I believed in tomorrow.
Yesterday, I hoped today
Would be better than what was then
Today
And what is now yesterday.
Yesterday, I dreamed of a better
Today
But all I received
Was a tomorrow
Not unlike
Today.

Never lose hope
For a better tomorrow
Add two teaspoons
Of dedication and
Respiration
And
Desperation of the highest caliber.
Stir until thoroughly shaken
Up
Then proceed
To wish
Things are not like they should be.
Could be.
Ought to be
In a free world
Of fair trades
And every won a winner.

When today
Is not what
You want to do
Is change.

I would pine for yesterday
But there's nothing forest.
All my ghosts,save one or two,
Are old and ugly, black and blue
Not worth a portrait, hardly a good buy.
How can one build a better tomorrow
On foundations that are not
Today
On foundations that are rot
Today
Our plans come crashing down
The whole town
Goes up in smoke
Because some bloke
Thought he could hope
Today (but nope)
His days just stayed the same.

Hope is faith
Love is blind

But I have eyes
That see behind.
I have thoughts
Can't never mind.
I have days
I wish
I could not find
The will to
Live.

Once, I had hope in yesterday
That bled into tomorrow
I had faith in come-what-may
Through bitterness and sorrow
I had fear, but still believed that someday
It'd be true
I had hope, but now I find
That still I have no you.
Still all I am left with

Are days.
