The Yesterday You
You look at old pictures,
Which trigger past memories.
You recall distant friends
Turned unsuspectiny enemies.
You remember a time
When you weren't so pained,
When you could stand alone
With no battle scars gained.
You start mourning the loss
Of this yesterday you;
The one who felt whole,
The one not as blue.
This yesterday you, who
In that picture you saw
Smiled with pure joy
Without feeling one flaw.
You wish to go back
To this yesterday hue,
That wasn't as hurt
As this new today you.
But then you recall
How that yesterday you
May have been thinking
Of a yesterday, too.
So you choose to move past
This yesterday you,
Or else you'll stay stuck
In that yesterday blue.
