Yesterday

Yesterday, everything

seemed so much worse

and I thought I wouldn't survive

to all the painful moments

I was going through.

Yesterday, I didn't know

so much as I know now

and I asked myself

if I would survive

to all the brutal reality

that surrounded me.

Yesterday, the storms

gave me the impression

they would never die down

and all the voices screaming

in my mind didn't want

to shut up.

But today, I am still alive

I'm still facing what I thought

it would kill me and pull me down.

Yesterday, all the things

that were so terrible

don't seem to be

so terrible now.
