Tomorrow, I say to myself

There's plenty of time tomorrow

These trivial tasks can be done later

I can’t focus on them right now

Because today I am drowning in a sea of responsibilities

And everywhere I turn, there seems to be no end

But tomorrow I’ll remember how to swim and I will get to shore

Today I am being held captive 

Stress fortifying these chains that hold me down

It has so for so long that they have fused to my skin

Permanently attached to me

Keeping me trapped in a world of my thoughts

Fear building up the barriers 

Emotions fogging up my view

There is no one else here

Nothing but worry to keep me company

But tomorrow I’ll realize I was foolish

I had the keys all along

The chains that have held me down will miraculously break

The fog will clear and I will be free

But today I am stuck on the tracks

With the train barreling down towards me 

Rattling the ground on which I stand 

And as it gets closer I can see that this train

This train is my life

And it's coming in fast, threatening to crush me under immense pressure and it has yet to break me

So I remain standing because tomorrow I'll find a way to unglue my feet so I can move forward

Because today I can't 

I'm busy standing in front of the mirror 

Telling myself that I am fine

Because the louder I chant it 

the less broken my reflection will seem

Because tomorrow will shine brightly 

Allowing me to see the color that I did not see today

The problems that hid in the shadows will vanish

Yeah I'll be okay tomorrow

Right?
