Expiry Date

Oh God, Reveal My Expiry Date

I strive each day to craft a brighter dawn,
Sacrifice upon sacrifice, from dusk till dawn.
I pour my soul into a tomorrow I may never meet,
Enduring today’s storms, bitter and sweet.

I carry the weight of now with trembling might,
Chasing a future that may never see light.
I bleed my heart to paint a hopeful sky,
Yet wonder—will I be there when dreams fly high?

Oh, cruel irony! My deepest fear is spending all of today,
Only to wake up tomorrow and re-start again.
Oh God, I beg—reveal my final date,
So I may balance love and fate.

I won’t seek vengeance, nor darkened ends,
Nor harm a soul before that moment descends.
Just grant me time to plan with grace—
My joys, my tears, my love, my final place.
