Poetry group 4 months, 3 weeks ago
One Day
One day
I’ll have all that I need
And I won’t have to stress
About making it to
Tomorrow
In one piece.One day
I’ll be on the beach
Sipping on margaritas
And working on that tan
Without it becoming a
Red lobster burn.One day
Is all I need
To have my day
In the sun,
To finally be
THAT person.One day
There won’t be
A Climate of Fear
Choking me
Every time I dare
To speak against horror.One day
We’ll all realize
The preciousness of sharing
This finite world
And finally work for
The sake of preserving
Life great and small.One day
Is perhaps the
Single worst word pairing
In the English language.
It’s a panacea at best.
A half hearted no at worst.One day
Hangs loosely in
The future
As I finish this.
I’ll say it less
Someday. One day.Subscribe  or  log in to reply
Mairi, I am speechless! You are so right that we think we will get to where we want to be “one day” but we should instead focus on being who and what we want in the present. Your words have inspired me and I will work to say “one day” less in the future as well. Thank you for sharing!
