Today

Today there was no music,

Today there was no rain

Today I touched the world

And felt nothing but pain



Today I screamed inside

But silence was all that came out

Today I wanted noise

But couldn't even bring myself to shout



Today the world was beautiful

As beautiful as it could be

But no matter how I looked at it

I could see no place for me



Today I picked a wilting Rose

I shed a silent tear

Today I wonder what is wrong with me?

What is it that I fear?
