I saw tomorrow
as a better day
forgetting to be grateful
during the moments of today

I strive for a future
that may never be
realizing that without
hope ambition dies

Expectations were my failure
living for wants
not seeing fulfillment
in the tiniest of needs

They call it the big picture
visions of whats to be
missing the imperfections
realities bring each day

Live to accept what may never be
while missing all the despondency
every positive movement
choreographs actions of tomorrow
