Whatever Tomorrow Might Be

sometimes
i just feel like throwing in the towel
but something tells me to hold on
to hold on
to keep trying
not crying
but defining
the outcome
of whatever might be

i wish oh i wish
that i could run away
to someplace distant
and of no decay

where we can play basket ball under the street light
and count the stars while gazing at such a sight

to fall asleep in the meadows
in the grasslands
mother nature so cautiously bestowed

without feeling guilty
nor filthy
about tomorrow's worry

to wake up
early
5am
to watch the sunrise
staring in awe at God's handiwork

or we could arise to the smell of smoked salmon
breakfast's delights
and when's all said and done
we can bake in the sun till dark

and when it pours
we could go indoors
wear out the x-box
turn the ps-2 aflame

or we could just turn on the music
and dance our hearts out in the rain


or we could simply
construct cases
and tear cases

listen
think
and speak

all day
all day long
without a care in the world

sigh
but this sort of thinking hardly lasts
cuz reality never fails to kick in

i am terrified
mortified
petrified

of what the future might bring

sometimes
i just feel like throwing in the towel
but something within just tells me to hold on
to hold on
to keep trying
not crying
but defining
the outcome of whatever might be

whatever tomorrow might be..
