Poem of the Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come

Poem A Day: Will Tomorrow Ever Come By: Kristyna Cochran written circa early 2000's. 

WILL TOMORROW EVER COME

Today I woke up with cold in my eyes,

Washed it out, and had pink eye,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

Went to the doctor, he gave me eye drops,

He said I still had to go to school,

My heart stopped,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

They started talking about me,

I punched everyone that said something bad about me,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

I got suspended from school for three days,

I got home and thought I could play,

Mama picked me up and acted all nice; gave me a kiss,

She got all the plates and bowls out the cabinet,

And I had to wash every dish,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

While I was sneaking out to play basketball,

I broke my ankle,

I came back in, and momma gave me a whooping I couldn’t handle,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

I went to sleep with bruises on my back,

I thought will tomorrow ever come,

I went to sleep,

The next morning I awoke,

I opened my mouth and spoke,

And said it came,

Tomorrow came.

My Journey...... So far..............

     When I graduated high school May 31, 2005. I enjoyed my summer. Then about August 25 I went down to Montgomery, Alabama to attend Alabama State University.

My best friends and I attended the presentation after we preregistered for our Fall 2007 classes. After we attended the presentation, we were invited to an interview. I went to my interview and the representative asked me to come and become an intern at Walt Disney World. I temporarily accepted the position. I called my mother excited as ever. I asked her do she think it would be a good idea if I went. She told me it was an opportunity of a lifetime and how could I even be thinking about it. I thought I would have to be take some time out of school, but she said I never been why not go for

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school on the
