Everyone decides
every morning
that today
will be
different.

I'll eat right.
go on a walk.
talk to god.
and the lonely girl.

today i'll change
20 years of
good intentions
into a lifetime
of good
deeds.

yesterday was a mistake.
i lost focus,
plus
there's so much going
on.

today, though,
i'll be the person
i had intended to be
but got too
busy.
distracted.
tired.

today is the day that
will make the ultimate difference.
and when i go to sleep tonight
i'll know it was
worth.

today became yesterday
yesterday a new tomorrow.
this is how you end up
with my looking character,
stomach,
baggage.
