the days

YESTERDAY,
I opened my eyes, with my back towards the mirror

I didn't want to see it

The ugliness
The sadness
The crippled

I walked down the street before I realized I had forgotten something

I had forgotten that I am more than a piece of glass

TODAY,
I relinquish my weapons at the feet of my dinner plate

My face is bloody, scars

The stars, they know nothing but the whispers they tweet when my face is turned away

Don't make me sing
Don't make me sing

TOMORROW,
holds me in his firm grasp

He doesn't let go
He reminds me that I cannot catch him
He will always be running

Even when the days are long and the nights are short
Always
I will be lost in today, chasing ToMoRrOw, and stuck in YESTERDAY
