Today

-*Today could have been a great day

Today could have been like the sunrise dancing in the fragrance

of Christmas morning

The clouds held hope as if today would hold ocean blue smiles of memories,

as if today, the minds of fellow earth-walkers

would be clear and fresh like the moment the rain stops falling,

as if today had hidden a hint of magic under the soil of our souls,

as if yesterday was a mistake written in history,

that today is trying to make up for...

but as every hour passed,

an erupting nausea of deja vu hurled

from within my internal disappointment

You see

today was just like yesterday

and I have a feeling that tomorrow

won't be any different...
