Yesterday, you loved me blindly
Today, you'll sit so quietly.
Yesterday, together we'd stand tall
Today, you'll watch me fall.
Yesterday, you demanded I be proud
Today, you're not so loud.
Yesterday, you fought for me to be free
Today, you stand idly by as I struggle to breathe.
Yesterday, we hoped for better
Today, I'm alone to face the weather.
Yesterday, a battle was fought
Today, that small victory is lost.
Yesterday, the world was bright
Today, it's back to dark as night.
Yesterday was all about rights
Today it's just not your fight.
Yesterday was full of love and joy
Today I feel thrown away like an old used toy.
Yesterday, we gathered as one
Today, I'm the only one.
Yesterday, you held my hand
But it was today, I really needed a friend.

Act Of Becoming
The Journey of Self-Discovery At its core, love is a catalyst for self-discovery. When we open our hearts to love, we invite the possibility of seeing ourselves through another's eyes. This external perspective often reveals aspects of our personality and character that we might not have recognized on our own. The act of becoming in love involves embracing these revelations and growing from them.
