Tomorrow
May 23, 2021
What am I going to do tomorrow?
Maybe I’ll become a one hit wonder,
Become a daredevil, that even critics will have to adore.
Become the ruler of a small country,
But that all sounds boring.
So, I’ll settle for being someone
That’s happy to be themselves.
The only problem is
What if I get bored of that?
Because in the next 10,000 miles
I could change a whole lot,
And that scares me.
What scares me more is not even being remembered at all,
But that is something I will deal with another day.
I’ve got homework due later.

Dear Poetry Editor:
I am submitting a poem entitled “Tomorrow” for consideration in Teen Ink.
I am a high school junior at Bishop Heelan in Sioux City, Iowa. I was recommended to submit my manuscript for Teen Ink by my Creative Writing I teacher.
Please recycle my manuscript if it does not fit your editorial needs. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Kayla Maguire
