Then.

I wish for a better tomorrow

I don't know what 'better' truly is

But it has to be more than this

Now.

Now I long for days past

They were easier, simpler, less exhausting.

Is this all life is?

Changing and changing, never getting better and always getting worse?

Each day it feels like I'm getting better

Each day it feels like I've grown a little bit more

But when I compare tomorrow to back then,

I've sunken deeper,

Died a little bit more,

Rooted deeper into my problems

Tomorrow.

There is no growing.

There is no feeling better.

There is only worse and worst and then you're dead.
