A Million Yesterday'sA Poem by Choosing Life
I'll be glad when yesterday ends... Seems like it been following me into today all my life As if it was the wings attached to my back Making it impossible for me to fly Or at least much too hard And I bet you it is going find it's way into my tomorrow I'll be glad when yesterday leaves me alone Quit talking into my head about who did me wrong I mean I got to move on Somehow some way But it seems I can't escape my yesterdays Like when nights hurt so bad That I cried until I was shaken And physically I was breaking apart And my mind would get away from me With depressing thoughts Squeezing all the life out of my dreams And here comes yesterday reminding me About every heart ache and lost And I take yesterday outside and throw it away But it must be alive Because when I wake on today Yesterday just sits there on the edge of my bed And jumps on my back And I have to carry all that Like lets see here Broken promises and dying dreams Heart aches and screams And all of the times I wished for death instead of breath Right here traipsing into my today And sometimes I feel like I have forgiven the same thang a million times Now that will mess with your mind Like what would you do if you threw away a pair of shoes But when you looked down they were right in front of you Tripping you up I declare this is the truth Yesterday is stalking me Like it wants me to fail And it reminds me why that is okay And I keep praying for God to kill my yesterdays Or at least set me free Tell yesterday to let go of me So I can walk into today And I know He hears me But He says it is me that is holding on That I got it all wrong because yesterday isn't that strong So I battle in spirit and flesh Trying to find rest Escaping a million yesterdays I'll be so glad when yesterday ends~
