Continuum

yesterday

this monster

it had me by the throat

did with me as it would

left me reeling, exhausted

terrified that this reality

might not be as it is

but not today!

today

it stalks silent beside me

seeks its opportunity to

terrorize, maim, destroy

it grasps, it claws, it

is helpless against me

its daggers draw no blood

today

yesterday is no more

tomorrow is unknown

today my hope is sure

for today

I live
