Better Day

entry picture

I greet the morn with dread
Crazy voices in my spinning head
The night gave me wild dreams 
Exhaustion wins or so it seems
Going through the motions again
More and more of mental pain 

Gonna be a better day tomorrow 
The sun's gonna shine okay
I'm swapping sorow for joy
Tell me people what I say
Gonna be a better day tomorrow

I get so sick of the daily grind
No inspiration atall do I find
On the long road to nowhere
Give me direction I will go there
What's it all about I scream and cry
Is there a heaven up in the sky

Gonna be a better day tomorrow
Goodbye frown hello smile
I'm looking on the bright side
Walking down the golden mile
Gonna be a better day tomorrow

The hours they pass quickly on by
The days are eaten the weeks they fly
The nights come fast and consume
Here I go back to the gloom
But somehow I manage to cope
I struggle daily but I have hope 

Gonna be a better day tomorrow 
My heart has told me so
The future is looking grand
Carpe diem that's the way to go
Gonna be a better day tomorrow

Tom,
There’s a rawness in your poem that captures the weight of inner turmoil—the kind of mental and emotional chaos that feels endless and inescapable. The repetition of "Gonna be a better day tomorrow" doesn’t just echo optimism, but a kind of desperate self-reassurance, a reminder to keep moving forward despite the overwhelming uncertainty. It’s a deeply human struggle, and the way you frame it speaks to that quiet persistence, even when hope feels like the only thing left to hold on to.
Thank you for sharing such an honest reflection.
Regards,
Rolph

For hopes and dreams will not be in sorrow,
For I found my hero,

To ease my April boredom. 😉
