Yesterday I Crave Not

Yesterday saw my tears panting Today won't see it again panting I was shot out of life yesterday But still I rise today beautifully The night that howled at me was the same night that manipulated them. If you are looking for me yesterday Find me today among the successful Fear blurred my vision yesterday and My feet couldn't move an inch but now They do because I watered my today Yesterday with the pain that shot me. I urge you not to give up in your chase I pray for everyone who has seen their Ears with their eyes in yesterday' trouble Weep not, today shall strengthen you more I beg you to keep moving at your pace What yesterday couldn't give, you see today. Many died in their prime yesterday But you pass through that horrorable Incident that almost claimed your life And you live on today by his Grace Today shall be better to you when you Waters it with the vision of a conquerer. My eyes once cried before them My brain screamed and cursed me Behind, I was left to die and rot but Today saw me through with ease For the first time I know what is like To visit death and shake his hand. To you that cry without mouth I shall see you through my nose When the aroma of suffering Shall present herself shall I hunt for you To rescue you before death comes Don't give up on yourself, yesterday is gone Face today with another spirit that is pure.
