Figure This Out

tomorrow night
I dreamed
bringing today's delight
the next day I screamed
        causing today's fear
        tomorrow I cried
        drying today's tear
        yesterday I died
yet, I'm still here
jumping from year to year

Nope, it has nothing to do with leap year. It's about how the past, present and future are all connected and impact each other.

This has me baffled...is it Leap Year? Still, as confused as I am your poem was very cool. Like reading a puzzle, trying to fit the pieces together. This could not have been easy to write.
