Today..

The day before today, there was another me,
another me less lonely, another me free.

The day before today, when once there was
liberty, I was a creature of the ocean, my days 
and nights asea. 

The day before today, I ride the tube of the perfect 
wave, gliding in naturalbliss, its’ surges and swells 
remind me of how magical nature is.

The day before today, in the dark oceans I dived, 
living off natures abundance, fishing to survive.

The day before today, life was much more sane, for
now I am fettered; my freedom I await to attain.

Today is today, I am far away from my yesterday, I am 
where I am, I await the day before today.
