Discontentment

0 As I open my eyes to a new day,
 10 I see what could be,
    20 I see what should be,
      30 And I see what will be,
        40 And all the wile believing I have control,
          50 How foolish have I been,
            60 How stupid could I be,
              70 As I close my eyes to end the day,
                80 I see that this will not happen tomorrow,
                  90 I see I have learned, 
0 As I open my eyes to a new day.
