Poetry VauLT: Tomorrow

I survived the war without a fight

         yet of this battle I dare not write...

I strive yet dare not call it's name.

I say, "Yes... tomorrow will be the day!"

But then another...

and another...

and yet another-

pass me by.

                          

I wonder why 

     

          I did not try

a little harder-

                 yesterday. 

I'm always forgetting that when tomorrow comes

      today will be yesterday anyway...

It's far too easy to say, 'Tomorrow..."

But when the sorrow of today

makes all the promises I made to myself yesterday... 

                                               f  a  d  e      a     w     a      y 

What's there left to say today?

But...

"Tomorrow."
