Today Does Not Define Tomorrow
I feel empty,
lonely,
I know I failed.
But today does not define tomorrow,
and I must thank God.
I know I am battered,
and beaten,
mutilated again.
But these scars are not forever,
and I must believe in more.
My heart is darkened,
worried,
busy with noise.
But the noise will be softened,
and I must pray again.
My thoughts are wicked,
and perverted,
dead to the truth.
But the light will shine deeply,
and I will soon know you.
Today does not define tomorrow,
my past doesn't make my today.
The blood shed will be over,
I will be shown another way,
led to a holier place.
