Today

 

Today was not a good day

At times the sadness overwhelmed me

I was able to push it away in short bursts of happiness

Pretending the smile on my face was real

When I let my mind wander, those smiles turned to tears

Nothing wrong today just a day to feel sad

Maybe I was due a sad day to put happy ones in perspective

Maybe I am just human and get sad from time to time

But sad today is ok from time to time

Just as long as today doesn’t become tomorrow

Or the week, month, year

For today only I am allowed to be sad

To allow out the pain I keep buried deep inside

But only today.
