Today Was Different

Warm greeting to everyone who visits this blog. I have been pretty irregular with my posts on the blog and that was because I was busy and did not have any inspiration to write about. This month, hopefully, I'll be more active and consistent.

Anyways, the poem that I have for today is something that you might need as a constant reminder. I might print it out and paste it on my wall for a self reminder ;) 

Go Ahead and read it. Context of this poem will be towards the end. 

‘Today was Different’

Today,
I woke up with the rays of sunshine
and my eyelids basking in their warmth.
Everything seems fine and
the world seems like a calmer place
to reside in.
The fragrance of the blooming
flowers makes me hope for the better
again.

Today is different,
it's not like the yesterday or
like all the days before it.

Today,
I look at myself in the mirror and don't feel
the self pity and hate reflecting back
through my eyes.
I go for a walk and journal my thoughts.
I eat and I drink enough water to get through this day.
I didn't cry or spent the day
curled up in my bed.

Today,
I can allow the happiness in
like the rays of sunshine that
woke me up from a deep sleep.

Today,
there is chaos in my room caused by the
storm of the yesterday and I know,
I can uphold the chaos and put the pieces
of my broken vase back to their places.
But do I feel brave enough to let go?
Do I feel secure enough to move past
all the things that have burnt and broke me?

Today,
I don't want all of this to end
as the sun sets or this dawn to vanish
and reside beneath the shadows.

Today,
I feel normal or maybe like
what they all say is 'normal' to feel.
My heart is calm and my mind is
not occupied with it's usual
racing thoughts.
I don't know who I am anymore,
Am I allowed to feel this way?
Do I deserve this day or is it all a fragment
from one of my few pleasant dreams?

Today,
I want to possess this day and own it
for the rest of my life
'cause I don't want to shatter this dream like every time.

Context- 

While writing this poem I had the 'One day at a time' affirmation in mind and I wanted to write about something that would convey hope and this message at the same time. Now I know this poem is not very direct and that's exactly how I wanted it to be. The poem also asks some questions, more like self doubts that a person goes through when in the situation similar to the poem. Also, this poem is a revelation in itself, you'll feel differently about it after every read. I hope this poem helps you in many ways and I hope you get the message I have tried to send you across :)
