Today I started a new beginning, I've began to trust my soul,
I’ve stopped giving every one of you the power to make me whole.
I’ll stand up on my own today, and pull the razor from my heart,
And make a vow to myself not to allow the same old shit to tear me apart.
Today my eyes were open, today my mind is clear,
Now I will comfort my own pain, and settle my own fear.
I’ve seen my own reality, and played a tape of my own hell,
And now I’ve broken out of the world that kept in my cell.
Today I stand to refuse all that misery and pain,
I will control my destiny, only I can keep me sane.
Today I look in the mirror, and I remember something weak,
I remember all the issues that tried to make my defeat.
And inside the mirror of my hectic reality,
I take heart in the image of something I never get to see.
Today I see my strength, I feel my power running free,
And trust that all that shit can not take it away from me.
Through the mirror I can see unknown desire through my eyes,
And it saddens me how long I just kept telling myself lies.
But now I know that tomorrow holds happiness for me,
And true happiness will come to me when I am ready to receive.
So today, and everyday, until I am certain all the way,
I’ll tell myself all these things, and believe it, just for today.
