Tomorrow is Today

Tomorrow is a new day;
A brighter day, filled with hope.
I shall walk freely, then;
No longer fearing the voice
That is my own.
Tomorrow my cowardice
Will blossom into radiant courage.
I will stop longing for the dreams I dream,
And start living those grand tales.
Tomorrow the sun will rise
And shadows dissipate.
Oppressions cease,
Chains unbound,
Freedom found
And truth released.
Tomorrow I will not wait
For things to change,
For a life anew.
Tomorrow I will make my way,
Battle through,
Fight "'til the bitter end."
Tomorrow will not escape my grasp;
It will not drift away.
It is not the sands of yesteryear;
Tomorrow is today.

Cease the moment...
type of verse...
inspiration in tone...
the gradual voice sets the pace...
and just free flows to the end...
I will leave your short story of last...
Good day...

Welcome!
Hey, what's "Deviant Art?"

[Elina]

Deviant Art is a website where people can share artwork and photography.

Is it useful for writing?

No longer fearing the voice
That is my own.
Tomorrow my cowardice
Will blossom into radiant courage.

I can strongly relate to these lines you wrote so well! Sometimes I find it hard to trust my own mind and there's always that side of me I'm scared of. How I dream of erasing it from who I am and walk freely like you mentioned in your beautiful poem but it's very hard. Thank you for sharing your talent!

[Elina]

Thank you very much. I am glad my poem could relate to you.

Sometimes I feel that tomorrow never comes. :( A lovely piece.

[Elina]

Sometimes "tomorrow" seems as though it does not exist. But there is always hope, and there will always be someone there to support you.
Much love, magenta.
And thank you for the review.
