tomorrow seems promising
but there is still time to fall short of my own expectations today
I’ve got nothing to say,
but I still write a page.
One paragraph deep,
my words fall like sleet.
Then suddenly dry up fast
when I fail to contrast.
My sentences now lack wit,
and my syntax is shit.
But still, I carry on,
inserting words that don’t belong.
I will read this tomorrow
and ask myself what went wrong.
Why were these lines in my head?
Would I rather be illiterate instead,
of publishing such trash,
or am I just being rash?
I know I can write well
even if no one can tell
by my childish rhymes
or cliché references to time.
And I'm doing it again,
so I guess it's true;
I have nothing to say,
but tomorrow I may.
