Yesterday

Today I began to think of  yesterday,
Realizing yesterday was today and will be tomorrow,
How I wonder shall I do today all over again knowing,
Tomorrow it will be yesterday , The pain as fresh as
morning dew, yet old  like yesterday's news, I try to 
go on to pretend to smile through another day, Still
wondering how to make tomorrow not like yesterday, 
I cry I sigh my mind reals the pain of the past, Why
does it feel so fresh, Yet I go on fighting striving,
for tomorrow, My pain is deep my sadness to the
bone, my mind so worn my smile so frail, Then
I awake again today knowing how I felt just yesterday,
Maybe just maybe I say to my self, today won't be like 
yesterday, Tomorrow may come soon enough I'll
know when I go on another day!!!
