Someday vs. Today

maybe someday
my smile will wake me up
maybe someday
my heart will throb with love
maybe someday
I will know I am enough

but not today.

maybe someday
the bills will get paid on time
maybe someday
I'll be loved and treated kind
maybe someday
I won't come home and cry

but not today

maybe someday
I'll believe in God's love again
maybe someday
these thoughts won't haunt my head
maybe someday...
but it's never today

so the hell with someday

maybe today
I will scream for relief
maybe today
I will run my car into something very big at top speed
maybe today
I'll go jump off a bridge

but....

maybe...
today...
I should pray
instead

I think fat ladies should be forever barred from singing. It should never be over. There are a lot of four letter words, but I think the word hope should have the strongest effect of them all, Some day is all we are looking for. whether it's the ship or the prince. There is always a blue lite special at k-mart.

And I feel the same way and maybe someday we will be at home to stay but I wish it happened yesterday.. But i am forced to to breath one more day and all i can do is be angry and pray..

I can soooo relate to that - happiness is always deferred unless you choose it in spite of circumstances :)

This fine work sends echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival's music rushing throughout my mind. Yes, every day is a nice day to pray.

I like that there is some levity in this piece. We all get overwhelmed at times, and allow our thoughts to go to an extreme. Then we rationalize the situation, and come up with a better idea. Nicely done.
