Tomorrow
I will be
Bigger
Better
Maybe this time
I won't run away
Head down
Hands trembling
Tomorrow,
I won't regret this
But that's tomorrow
Today remains
With all my worries
Insecurities and beliefs
My thoughts
Spiral
Off on a tangential course now
It will pass over me
And I won't be left untouched
But I will grow stronger
Through it all
I will become
The person
I want to be
In far-off tomorrows
(the one that doesn't have a million running shoes
a million blades and thorns
stockpiled
ready
waiting)
