Today I am human Today I got two legs out of bed to face a world that is sometimes cold Today I walked tired feet just to make sure they still do their job right Today I ran fingers through hair and remembered there were teeth to brush, a face to wash Today I woke to a bottle of water half full by my nightstand Today I drank it's contents with a handful of vitamins Today I remembered the importance that breakfast holds so I had it Today I dressed a body that now and then can feel unfamiliar Today I pushed the sheets back on the bed to make it almost neat Today I fluffed a pillow to its full extent Today I put lotion to skin that is too dry from the California sun Today I put gas in my car Today I fed myself without guilt Today I filled my stomach with meals instead of anxiety Today I breathed Today I sighed Today I did what most consider to be routine, but is so much more to me All of these simplicities are proof of surviving Doing so is not always easy But I do Today I lived even if I did so quietly Today I am alive And tomorrow I will be as well Tomorrow I will say thank you to today Tomorrow I will appreciate the effort of before Tomorrow I will be too proud for too little Tomorrow I will repeat Tomorrow I will try again Tomorrow I am human.
