TODAY

TODAY IS:

A fresh start

A new day

A new morning

The sunlight peaks through the curtains, tickling you to awake. To embrace the new possibilities today brings. You are full of hope and certainty that today, today is it. Today you will do it.

Today you WILL:

- go to your classes

- meet your friends

- clean your room

- clean the dishes

- do the laundry

- make your bed

-brush your hair

- brush your teeth

- get out of bed

- get up

TODAY YOU WILL GET OUT OF BED.

You will... you have to...

but you don't because you can't

You ask yourself why? Today is here, she is good, new and full of possibilities.

Why are you not enjoying today?

But you don't know why... you just... don't.

You beg yourself, insult, plead, yell at yourself

whilst staring at the ceiling knowing that you simply can't.

Anger, sadness, displeasure, disappointment

are familiar friends.

They come to visit and cloud your thoughts.

And you ask... why

why

WHY!

Just Get Up

But you don't. You don't move.

And the sunlight, she slowly disappears. She no longer tickles and peaks through. She simply

Slips away

She knows that you won't embrace her today. You won't enjoy the happiness she brings, or the opportunities or the possibilities.

So she leaves and you feel her disappointment.

But you just lay there... staring at the ceiling... the list of possibilities scrunched in your hands

as you let darkness

lull you back to familiarity, back to the known, back to sleep.

Back to Your Life
