TODAY
Your past has been your biggest foe
But now it’s time to let it go
The narrative you’ve spun so well
Is not the tale that others tell
Perhaps it is long overdue
To see what others see in you
Give yourself the grace you give
Existing’s fine, but why not live?
The things that you see others do
You tell yourself, that’s not for you
So now, you hide yourself away
But that stops now, it stops today
Just how long will you be afraid?
Look at the progress you have made
Consider all that’s in your hands
It more than covers life’s demands
The hope is that you’ll live in fear
Wasting the time that you have here
Time to arise, and live again
This is your start, hardly your end
The time to guess, and speculate
Leaves little time to mitigate
The things that you know to be true
There’s so much good out there for you
Get up now; take a look around
There’s so much wonder to be found
So much to keep you in a state
Of thankfulness that your own fate
Was not the likes of others who
Wish they could trade places with you
Today should be your closest friend
It’s all you have for now, but then
Should today become your past
Let fondness be the gaze you cast
