365 Tomorrows

365 Tomorrows

Will tomorrow feel like a year?
or will it be another day clouded with memories of beer?
Another year of 365 hangovers to look forward to.

Will waking up be different tomorrow?
Will it be time to look past a life of sickening sobriety 9 to 5?
Monday through Friday.
Friday being casual and Saturday being family man.
Sunday with its god and worship halfheartedly performed.
Just don’t see the hope anymore.
Another year of 52 Mondays to look forward to.

Will the memory of tomorrow fade fast?
Just another date unobserved.
Something forgotten to be written down.
People who will never be seen again.
Won’t remember tomorrow in a month.
Those months coming and gone marked by paydays twice.
Another year of 12 insignificant parts to a bland whole.

Will tomorrow be another year of bullshit?
If it is there is no one to blame but myself.
A year is 365 tomorrows.
“Today is bullshit but tomorrow will be better.”
Hope, for better or for worse.
All those days.
It makes 365 tomorrow.
