Untitled.

Who am I? I cannot say

’Cept not who I was yesterday

For, yesterday has come and passed

Yet here I am still standing fast.

No time for heartache, tears, or grief

The road ahead is my relief!

Pursuing what I cannot grasp

And working towards an endless task

Onward! Upward! ’til I am spent

Content, am I, with discontent

The sting of failure drives me on

When all my strength and will are gone

And in my head, a thought, it rings

With hope of what tomorrow brings

For where I was nothing before

Tomorrow offers so much more

Moving forward sets me free

For I am not enough for me

So, who I am tomorrow, then,

Will be no more than who I’ve been

And who I’ve been is left behind

A fleeting image in my mind

To make way for who I could be

The man, one step ahead of me

Who am I? I cannot say

’Cept not the man you saw today

Tomorrow dawns so, as I’ve said,

The man you saw today is dead.
