Every day is the same
The difference, only apparent when looking to Yesterday
I turn to the past for relief
For it is behind me,
In the rear view mirror of my life
That the truth often reveals itself.
Frustrated, at the fact that I can only ever move forward
I can never hold the gems the past has to offer in my hands
The diamonds, hidden in suffrage
The pearls, strung around ignorant necks
And every day...remains the same
I wake up
I ascend upwards, higher to the clouds
Upwards higher, into the stars
Upwards higher, into black nothingness
Stagnation eats away at me and I let it
I have come to realize
That I romanticize my regression
I sit in awe, at how much I have not grown
Not even realizing, I am have achieved growth by the end of the sentence.
