One Day

mcculs's picture

Start everyday,
Same as any other,
Just the same morning routine.
One day, one heart
One belief, one start
One hope answered
One day, today
That's all, anyway
And never again
Never again,
Will this happen
Never, never!
It won't
I can see, never
Will it be the same
Same old,
Repeat,
The world's on repeat
I won't redo this day
I never will, anyway
Of course not, I stand
I refuse to get caught, caught in the cycle
I won't do it, never again
Never again will I see that face,
Staring back at me, in the mirror
The mirror, fogged over so,
All I can see is distorted faces
Staring at me,
Looking into my eyes
That's all I can see
Never will I,
Get caught in the roundabout,
Never can I,
Get stuck in the past,
I must move on
I will move on
I can move on
Oh yes I will, move on
