Today
Today i am immune to negativity
Immune to the concept that laughter is a foriegn language
And joy can only be shaken forward through a forbidden tongue
Today i embrace the wind And the fragrance captured in the leaves
And The orange tanginess of lemondrops
And the moments smokey with soft kisses and stolen glances
Today i embrace the questions
And challenge the doubts
My head aches from overthinking the lines and rhythms and confines of this poem
Keeping me tucked away from the issues and shades of gray
Today overthinking is a mystery
And My hips are exactly the shape and size they should be
Because today, finally, i am walking in the fullness and liberty of joy
Yes today is my day
And i choose to believe
That i can fight and wrestle for my sunshine
And win
That i can catch it with both hands
Slide it into a quiet place
And sing sweet soft lullabys
Reminding it that happiness is ours
And we can play in this world we have created
For as long as we choose
Because in the land of today
The hands of the clock rest on satisfied and content
The breezes taste like cinnamon
And we lay here
Silently basking in this feeling that goodness is real
And moment that is being strung together
Will be captured on a canvas
Colors melting into the definition of
Today
