Today is a good day
It is in the silence
It is in the darkness
Of the sleepless night
That the mind begins to run
Filled With thoughts
of the day before
Of the eggshells
Tiptoed on once more
Of the feeling of dread
As the key turns
in the door
The fear deep inside
that begins to churn
Hearing the footsteps
Come ever nearer
As you wonder will today
be a good day
Where just for a while
You can breathe
You can smile
You look at the face before you
And today is going to be a good day
There are flowers
And a gentle kiss
An endearment of affection
Today is going to be a good day
But that fear that churns deep inside
Will never leave
Because you know in your heart
tomorrow may not be a good day
