TODAY
Cool morning dew covers the ground
Chirping birds…the only sound
The sun shines bright
Darkness gone…no longer in sight
Seems so perfect
Everything just right
My head I rest
For my future is the test
Friends I have known
No longer around
Though they reside
In the same small town
Silence is heard
When my tears stream down
Who do you trust
What do you believe
Gossip and lies
How much is real
Though the next person thinks
My skin must be made of steel
Do they not know
Surely they realize
I will hear
Judgment day will come
For all
I will stand
The Devil will fall
Into his new wife’s arms
I hope she will be there
To catch him
And all of his shit
When he gives it out
His punching bag no longer
Though I am still under his grip
But for now to be the better
I constantly bite my lip
Though I try to say what I feel
Never allowed
He must have the last say
The things I think
I will express some day
When it is the right time
He thinks he has won
This childish game
Trying to hurt me still
What he doesn’t realize is
I will survive for it is…God’s Will
Years of pain are on your hands
Maybe you will become a better man
I pray you do for the new one in your life
If you don’t I already shed a tear
For your future wife
You have always been
Full of lies
I will do it tomorrow
No plans
Dreams long since gone
No longer I wait
My future is my canvas
I dip my brush
Into the paint
Only beauty
Will be seen
For God
Guides my hand
Showing me the right way
To find happiness
Today…
