Tomorrow

A new day?
Everything from the past carries over
Awakened to the same drama
Sent to bed feeling the same pain
Living crying the same tears
And facing the same reality
A new day?
Still searching for the same thing
Battling the same desires
Awakened to the same world
Sent to bed to the same hell
Chasing the same dreams
Running away from the same nightmares
A new day?
Searching for the same key
To open the same doors
And lock the same other ones
Pretending to be happy about the same things
For the same people
All the while, really hurting the same way
A new day?
Why do we continue to hold to the same hopes?
To offer up
Anxiously awaiting "Tomorrow" to bring change
Experiencing the same disappointment
From realizing that tomorrow is not really a new day
