Today i am immune to negativity

Immune to the concept that laughter is a foriegn language

And joy can only be shaken forward through a forbidden tongue

Today i embrace the wind And the fragrance captured in the leaves

And The orange tanginess of lemondrops

And the moments smokey with soft kisses and stolen glances

Today i embrace the questions

And challenge the doubts

My head aches from overthinking the lines and rhythms and confines of this poem

Keeping me tucked away from the issues and shades of gray

Today overthinking is a mystery

And My hips are exactly the shape and size they should be

Because today, finally, i am walking in the fullness and liberty of joy

Yes today is my day

And i choose to believe

That i can fight and wrestle for my sunshine

And win

That i can catch it with both hands

Slide it into a quiet place

And sing sweet soft lullabys

Reminding it that happiness is ours

And we can play in this world we have created

For as long as we choose

Because in the land of today

The hands of the clock rest on satisfied and content

The breezes taste like cinnamon

And we lay here

Silently basking in this feeling that goodness is real

And moment that is being strung together

Will be captured on a canvas

Colors melting into the definition of

Today
