Analysis of Tomorrow
The bitter cold pierced through my skin
As the howling winds of sorrow engulf me
Empty and hollow, left with nothing more but dread
I find myself void of love for tomorrow
For it brings the unknown; pain, loss, death or desolation.
Uncertain and unfamiliar I dreadfully trudged through the day
Fearful of the agony that could be tomorrow
Yet as I lay in my seas of hopelessness and despair
I watched as the birds flew free in the skies above me
They do as their nature has told them; to soar through the heavens unbothered and uncaring of what is to come tomorrow
For while futures uncertainty lingers
And Death’s darkness creeps beyond the corner
Life’s unbearable coldness will not be forever
And the sun will always rise tomorrow
