Your Today

This is for my brother, Paul, who took his life on August 19th 2009. i love you, Paul

Today is a day of silence,

We walk among you mute,

Carving our emotions in our skin,

Darkening our eyes so you can't see in,

So you won't try to normalize us.

 

Today is another day of loss,

We watch your lives fall apart,

Watch our childhood flee quickly.

 

Learn to crush our dreams early,

Learn to feel your pain and worry.

 

Today is a day of your change,

Of one man's many promises.

 

We wait for the rockslide,

Listen to the echoing whispers,

And wonder at your infallible wisdom.

 

Today is a day of your failure,

As you scrap for everything,

Taking more for wealth for power.

 

No thought of the future that's not yours,

All for today, today, today.

 

Yes, Today is your day,

But we take heart,

 

Our Tomorrow is coming...
