Someday

Poem

Someday they’d always say and for a long time I believed them

Couldn’t conceive at first that what seemed to me an assurance of future happenings

Was actually just a pitiful excuse used to pacify my curiosity

Made to placate my need to express my pain

I remember still how’d I listen as people repeated it saying

Someday you’ll see

Someday you’ll understand

Someday you’ll know

They’d were never honest enough to tell me that truth because that required too much effort

A waste of time to explain or admit their own ignorance

But filled with hope, I waited

And waited

And waited

And waited

But the day never came

Solution, Revelations, dreams

Remained absent and soon confusion terrorized my mind

Clawing at the hope that laid bare on my chest

Heart still convinced that soon the presently eluded day would come

So instead of working to find a way

Instead of learning to adapt to change

I waited for those somedays until my dreams bled out and died

Held all the hurt in 'til my heart gave up and cried

Soul almost died waiting on those false promises to save me from my gullible self

No longer convinced of somedays

All I wanted was help but by then I was too wounded to take the chance of more lies

So I locked myself away and twisted my whole way of life around

Someday will never again be good enough for me

I won’t rely on the future to get me to the point I need to be

I see now that somedays are the last thing I need
