Living hurts on Everyday; I'll make time to care on Neverday; I will care Someday; Just not Today; Today hurts too bad;
This poem captures the struggle of dealing with emotional pain and the tendency to procrastinate self-care. Each line reflects a different day—past, present, and future—highlighting the speaker's ongoing battle with their emotions. The repetition of 'Today,' 'Tomorrow,' and 'Yesterday' underscores the cyclical nature of their struggle, suggesting that while they hope for change, it remains elusive. The use of 'Everyday,' 'Neverday,' and 'Someday' emphasizes the indefinite postponement of care and healing. The poem's structure, lacking traditional rhyme or meter, reflects the chaotic and unresolved nature of the speaker's emotional state. It speaks to a universal experience of feeling overwhelmed by daily life and the difficulty of prioritizing self-care amidst pain.
