Tomorrow Morning
a Poem by Raquel Swann
Tomorrow Morning
I cannot find the way to accept
The rules of such a cruel game
Some call it life
I call it reality
Eternal love should win the day
As it does at the conclusion of most movies
I feel as if I’m wandering aimlessly
Within a nightmare
Waiting for my alarm clock
To wake me
You would be there in the morning
To send me off to school
Just as you used to do
But I didn’t want to go
Because staying home
Was so much more satisfying
I was pampered
Homemade soup, slaved upon and served
You knew I was faking
You never cared
You smiled at me and dragged me shopping with you
That was my punishment
For staying home
But I received a toy anyway
I altered your plans
But you fit me into your busy schedule
We came home and I went to play with my toy
I couldn’t go outside
That was my punishment for faking
I had to stay home with you
I look back and wish
It was just that simple
I’d never argue again
I’d never whine about going outside
I would just let you hold me in your arms
and pray time would stop
Please just wake me up
And try to get me to go to school
I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

Thank you. I do not have a delicious account and would appreciate that very much! I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. It was about the death of my mother. Very painful.
