Goodbye Today

I am afraid
I am afraid to admit I am afraid
Does saying I'm afraid
Bring unspoken fears
To life

In the darkness I weep
For a life with a little more comfort
And a little less cold
With a little more truth
And a little less pain

I seek solace
Emptiness
A place to rest my head in peace
My body in love
My heart in trust

Alas
There is no place such as this
Which I can see
Except
In the very heart of me

So here I am again
Comforting myself
Crying myself to sleep
Telling myself
Everything is going to be okay

And I know it will
Ultimately
Tomorrow is another day
Today
Today was just hard
That's all
