Reasons


Today

You wake up hearing your alarm 

oftenly the sound of miscomfort but today, 

today is the day

Today is the day that ends with old friends

the day you take a test you spent all night reviewing for

the day the cafeteria serves your favorite food

the day you take a leap with confidence

the day your shift is easy and slow 

the day of good memories 

All good things came from today

Each thing happened for a reason

Tomorrow

You'll wake up to your alarm 

But tomorrow,

tomorrow it shall be the sound of miscomfort 

Tomorrow will end alone in tears

tomorrow you'll forget a project due

you'll get food poisoning 

you'll swing and miss

you won't get a break at work

you'll live to forget this day

But despite this, each thing happened:

For a reason

Let each reason each encounter, each experience and each day, good or bad, shape you in a way that you might grow and succeed
