“Tomorrow”

by Shelly Moore Caron

•

My cup’s empty today
And that’s okay.
Tomorrow is
Another day.
For now I’ll lay
In my warm bed.
Wrapped in comfort
Steeped in dread.
But it’ll be okay
Of this I am aware.
It’s just today
I cannot bear.
Don’t condescend
With sugared words.
All I need
Is to feel heard.
My cup’s empty today
And that’s okay.
Tomorrow is
Another day.
