Today is a silent day. A "lost in thought" kind of day. When reality is not my first choice because my mind focuses on all the sharp, pointy things And Today is not the day to succumb to sharp, pointy things. I'd be fine if it wasn't for this book I started today. Today's book is about a girl who likes sharp, pointy things. And they keep describing it in such vivid details, I can almost feel my skin splitting and a river pouring out. But, Today can't be the day I break. I've traded the sharp, pointy things for paint brushes And the only designs on my wrists are done in pen. But, Today, the world is weighing on me And I just can't escape. 148 days is such a hard number to obtain. And zero so easily found But, I will reach 149. Today will be mad But, Tomorrow will be proud.
