yesterday i
opened my eyes
only to close them
because i was blinded
by harsh words
i needn't hear
at six in the morning

yesterday i
forced myself out
of bed and into
the shower and was
even scolded by
water that was
too hot to handle

yeserday

yesterday i
went to bed trying to
convince myself the
covers would
keep me safe
but i dreampt of
places i promised myself
i would
get over by the days end

today i
today i
today i woke up
forced myself
out of bed and
into the shower but
did not let
anything or anyone
scold me
about things i neednt hear
at six in the morning
