Today
by: Joel Faypon
Yesterday froze your pain
while everything and
everyone flourished
right before your eyes-
Your yesterday was
a still picture of unlearning
and disguised lies
Tomorrow petrifies your hope
while everything and
all the creatures of God
in your precognition change-
Your tomorrow is just a blind
anticipation of you yet again
refusing to rearrange
Today is the future
of your yesterday's bitterness
and the yesterday of your
tomorrow's nothingness
Your today is torn apart
now that you're giving in
to your own frailty
while you turn your back behind
the glory of now-
Blind to what you have withstood and survived
Denied yourself strength the way only you
will ever know how...
