#nottoday
I may not know what's coming. Some days, I can't say that I care. But that's because I've paved and walked the road to hell and back, and lived to tell the tale. If you're on that road today, it's not too late to turn back. Close your eyes. Breathe in, and say "not today."

Not today
Let me walk along the roads like a wanderer I’ll glance at the beggars Side eye the kids walking home Someone asks if i'm selling I say not today The nights are cold Grass and dirt stain my old clothes Traffic sounds Anger and wrath Where am I going? Where will I go from here? I don't know

Unorthodox desires
He dug me a grave So I planted a tree He sent me a wave So I sailed out to sea And to see what he throws I must be quick on my feet To catch hold of my breath Before he takes hold of me Now I'm in the hole Where he left me to die So throw me the rope As I say my goodbye But not to my life. No, not to my life. The rope 'round my waist Not my neck, as I climb I wave goodbye to him For the very last time

The scars I have are the things I once fought for.

New Form of Confidence
Another day goes by Uneventful, fake The happiness subsides Leaving a cold, unforgiving world In its wake One day I'll finally know what it feels like To enjoy waking up To enjoy life Today isn't that day

Not now
That day, you caught my eye Looking for a reason why One day, I saw you laugh That makin' me fall in love Today, you're the cause of my euphoria You make me begin to feel this way You're everything I wanted and more You're the one I'm praying for Hoping that I'll be your girl But maybe not today Even I will wait you forever Nothing else matter It'll help me to feel better To live in your melody Like an energizer of my body I will dance every beat you make Slay it, like a piece of cake I will sing every song you sing In every word make it shinning Even I'm not with you from the start Your music make us unite like an art Supporting you is just a part Even our distance far apart I will love you until the last beat of my heart

Not Today
You say you dont know who you are You rearing to leave us a scar I still dont understand the way You sulk through life each day Not that im one to pass But im getting quite crass With the way you say Nothing is better today

Not Today
I am drained Sluggish Unmotivated Tired I try waking up earlier, I try giving myself an extra 30 minuets for sleep Nothing helps I sit and stare Like a brain dead zombie I don’t know what to say I know I could do better I could make myself work I could push forward and hope to gain the motivation and strength to continue But even the little things that used to be so simple I could do them in my sleep seem monumental to me now I don’t know if my problems got bigger Or I got smaller But they’re definitely not being dealt with today

Groggy
The sky cries for me I walk alone No thoughts or feelings Just a desire to go To the river Into the river Just to float And maybe drown My blue hair ripples Cold water makes my body panic My lungs are gasping I fall under Riding the current Wherever it wants me to go I float back to the surface Thanks to my empty soul Today's not the day Perhaps tomorrow

My attempt.
i just cant today. I'm not feeling anything, from getting dressed to taking a shower, to getting in my car and going to work. I just don't want to get out of bed, i'd prefer to stay to myself and thoughts today. Why can't depression be a good reason to not go to work? I don't want to force a smile today, I don't have the energy. I tried to smoke some **** to clear my mind, but that honestly made me think more in depth, which didn't help. Maybe alcohol will help? (i can't go to work drunk though) ugh, i just need your love, i need your attention, i need a big ******* hug.
