What About Tomorrow?


Today…

I'm Smiling.

I am happy because I'm surrounded by people who love me.

Today…

I'm strong. 

I feel like I can actually make a difference in this world.

Today…

I feel accepted.

But tomorrow?

Tomorrow… 

My smile is not real.

I'm hiding how I truly feel - alone… lost… hated… 

Tomorrow… 

My strength is weakened.

I can no longer take the hits thrown at me.

Tomorrow… 

I'm not sure there will be another tomorrow.
