Today is tear stained cheeks

Today is tragically relatable poems

Today is wilted roses on a bush

Today is congested lungs, and sour tastes

Today is choking on chlorine

Today is walking around school like a zombie

Today is being lost in the grocery store as a child

Today is silently crying

Tday is losing something you cant replace

Today is listening to a song that makes you cry

Today is a year in the life of a motherless child

But tommorow will be better.

THIS IS SO WONDERFUL! Only thing I want to say is; stanzas 8,6,1 are basically the same thing. I suggest you revise those. But this was great. Can't wait to see more. :)
