Today I Am Human

Today I Am Human

today I am human

I know this too well...

dark emotions within me

no longer they dwell

for sadness and loneliness

this day they have crept..

they've seized my whole being

and left me inept

these days past I've laughed

put thoughts forth quite merry...

yet today laughter is gone

all that's left is contrary

and the hopes, dreams, and wonder

which my heart has fully nourished...

lie in tattered shades of doubt

heart once hopeful...now discouraged

but that is today..this moment..right now

these sad feelings will soon disappear...

tomorrow the sun will shine once again

but today I am human, my dear.
