Wake Up It’s Not Yesterday It’s Today

Wake up, it’s not yesterday,

no matter how it feels.

The past cannot be returned to,

no matter how deeply it appeals.

Memories knock like old friends,

asking to be let back in.

Reminding us of who we were,

before life wore thin.

Yesterday knows our weaknesses,

it knows where we broke.

It repeats old conversations,

like a familiar joke.

Today asks something different,

something braver, more real.

To step forward without certainty,

to trust what we feel.

It is easier to live backwards,

where endings are known.

Than to face a blank page,

standing alone.

Wake up, today is waiting,

even if you feel unready.

It does not require perfection,

only a heart that is steady.

You are not who you once were,

even if echoes remain.

Growth is quiet and unseen,

born through pain.

Wake up, it’s not yesterday,

this moment is yours to claim.

Today still holds possibility,

even if it feels the same.
