Lacey Wall Poet Free verse

Today We Are Free

Todays the day,
it has to be now,

we invade our memories and blink twice for our futures and forget our unanimous now.
much too uncomfortable, impossible to bear, when frightened about the self you'll never find yourself there.

get lost in the now as there's many moments like it. a hundred million trillion and that's not an exaggeration, your birth was now your death will be now, and every sweet moment in between has to be now.

build yourself now, walk like your most idealic future "now" because baby there can only be this way. 

Sounds corny till you try it.
