Take today to feel
all things you been saying you’re not
Not happy right now
Not ok
Because it’s okay for today
Be ready to accept all the things you won’t know
All of the things you can’t say
Won’t say
Because you’ll see it’s for the best
The universe wouldn’t have it any other way
Take today to miss him
And tell him that you’re still his son
- his Buddy Roll
Even if you’re all grown up
and decided to go your own way
but still think of him every time you watch nature shows
Take today to be fucking angry
And deal with your unwelcoming energy
Your recoil
Your escapism
Your gluttony and sloth
Your selfishness
Your know it all-ness
Yeah yeah
Because you’ll see that you’re scared
Of losing them too
Or looking vulnerable for one literal second
Because you’re lonely
or need a hug
or need to recharge
Take today to decide who you’re going to be
Because this is it
and this isn’t enough
Maybe you’re not still amazing
But you know you can get back there if you try
Take today to not take everything personally
Tell your ego to shut up
It’s not about you or
maybe it is
who cares
Also know that today is all you have
So enough with the planning
and waiting for everything to be perfect
while you do nothing but make millions for some people
that will replace you when you go
Most importantly
Take today to forgive yourself
For the monster you could have been
The times you’ve done wrong
and were embarrassed
It’s time to exist on purpose
For your mind
For your body
For the things you love about yourself
And the people you’re lucky to know
Know it’s okay for today
For you to feel
All of the things you know are coming
because they’re here already
waiting for you.
So do what you have to do
to make it work
to make it how you’ve felt it should be for so long
It’s okay to be more
or for things to change.
There’s no such thing as tomorrorow
so do it today.
