A Million Yesterday's

A Million Yesterday's

A 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~
