Today
Today is the day  I am here  where I am  not somewhere else  I rather be  or tell myself  the future that I am calling to myself    Today is the day  I will tell myself  that I am here, not somewhere else  I am poor  I stole clothes at the mall  and yet I confess  and yet I profess  and yet who I am does not change    Must pay the fee  to not call the cops, they say  and I can't afford it  I'm unemployed I say  She said you have 2 weeks  Grace has passed,  my time has come  Face the responsability   Do our mistakes follow us to the future?  the desperate things we do  when we are in desperate situations  where options are for a few  I thought of worse things to do  for money in these last few weeks   at last, I pray  I will stay myself   and the dreams in my heart  will still come to pass  and today is another day   where I learn my lesson  being poor is its own crime
