And Tomorrow
Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being an outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants to face
Nightmares to humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
Gnawing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But tomorrow I can change
a chance to build a new
Built on spirit with heart and ideas
based on truth
Tomorrow I wake with a second wind
strong because of pride
to know I fought with all my heart
to keep my dream alive
