Today

The same craving
dominating me again
my self control is waving
as I’m taken by the pain.

Wasting myself in yesterday
looking back and thinking
what should be today
before I know it, I am sinking
I've become lost along the way.

Everything has gone wrong
I'm looking back again
the days are so long
merging into one.

I can't see the years passing
even though they continue to go by
every time I begin surpassing
my emotions wither and die.

I look at myself
I do not recognize that girl
I'm sitting on a shelf
waiting for life to uncurl.

Yesterday is gone
but I am not in today
I think of everything gone wrong
and I continue to get lost in yesterday
waiting for tomorrow...
