Yesterday - a funny word Holding so much meaning, Impact. Sometimes yesterday lingers, Following me home after dark. I don’t want to feel like that again- The heart breaking, Gut wrenching, Want to die. Death, So close yet so far away. Almost scary, Or… Relief. But here I am again. The next day. Waking from a horrible nightmare, A cruel trick of the mind. I sit in silence, Though my thoughts scream loud It’s not peace - it’s exhaustion. Will it pass? Maybe tomorrow.

i don’t want to feel like i did yesterday
Yesterday - a funny word Holding so much meaning, Impact. Sometimes yesterday lingers, Following me home after dark. I don’t want to feel like that again- The heart breaking, Gut wrenching, Want to die. Death, So close yet so far away. Almost scary, Or… Relief. But here I am again. The next day. Waking from a horrible nightmare, A cruel trick of the mind. I sit in silence, Though my thoughts scream loud It’s not peace - it’s exhaustion. Will it pass? Maybe tomorrow.
