Day by day I face the wretched nightmare of reality No matter what I do Nothing would ever change The problems with no solutions The diseases with no cures The injustice with no justice
Day by day I wake up just to find out that this nightmare won't end That some people don't want to change anything That some people think they can't change anything That some people can't change anything I ask myself the same question each day What is there to do and live for?
Day by day I walk around just to see the land plagued with injustice Scales tipped on one side Eyes tainted with a filter Mouths operated through a script Minds controlled by someone or something
Day by day I go back home reflecting on the undying evil lurking in the shadows Why does it even exist Why won't it leave me alone Why do I deserve this
Today No matter how dark it may be Lighten up the place If the light fades and dies Change it again and again Until you find the one that will last One that will light up with a purpose To be the everlasting light of the day
I wrote this years ago because I wanted fo inspire and motivate someone who was feeling down. Looking back on the poem now, I didn't know that the day would come where I am the one who currently needs the motivation.
