Tomorrow

The daily mantra

"Tomorrow

will be the day I get it together"

who am I kidding

Tomorrow will be the day when I throw on an old sweater,

I will brush my hair only from my fingertips

to do the same braids I weave together

almost every tomorrow

I will not clean my room even though I told myself to,

I will not put the laundry away although I promised myself I would

I will not go to bed feeling good,

Tomorrow seems so easy the day before,

Until you wake up the next day,

while you're feeling as if you're just repeating the same chore.

Maybe tomorrow will be the day

I throw my self criticism out the door.
