Today
Is a new beginning
To try again
Today
I am determined
To aspire
To inspire
To explore
To break open
To create
To innovate
To transform
To be art
To love
To become
To persevere
To overcome
To discern
To enlighten
To be found
To be aware
To desires
To be understood
To shine
To be safe
To be strong
To be
To the end
Today  
I made a pledge
To never
Give up
On Today
Today
Be someone’s
Reason
To smile.

Somewhere
on a seasonal eve,
when you've swept
me into an aging pile
of the forgotten
fall
I hope you remember
to never forget my
true colors,
one
and all

me
with a warm smile

I've
been held
captive by your
cold stare
for way too
long
