Better Today
I try to be strong
I try to believe it will be okay
but then it comes along
That one horrible day
It all falls apart
feels like the world is caving in
I'm walking on balloons
and the people below are carrying pins
every step I take
a balloon pops and changes my route
leaving me walking in a circle
it makes you want to scream and shout
but yet I stay silent
channel everything within
to burden others with my stress
for me, that's a cardinal sin
I want to be under the balloons
so they can lift me and carry me away
but I don't want a better tomorrow
I need a better today.
