Yesterday

yesterday i woke up with a smile, felt my phone beating in my pocket
and dropped my heart in the toilet,
yesterday i sung in my clothes and showered in my underwear,
yesterday i covered the mirror 
and threw away my glasses,
yesterday was full of pointless events
but i woke up with a smile,
yesterday i woke up.

Today,
today i drowned in the bath and rinsed out my heart, leaving it on the window sill to dry,
today i forgot to brush my teeth,
today i forced myself to eat breakfast in attempt to teach my tongue how to taste again,
today i did not wake up with a smile.

As a human being we live our lives in the past and forget that we have a future 
because school always taught us that tomorrow never comes,
and i suck at math.

Friends taught us that we are only good for leaving,
relationships taught us that our hearts are capable of breaking,
family taught us that we should always be there for them,
but never ask for any favors,
the sun taught us to burn as the night taught us how to freeze.

The only teacher in life i can trust is myself,
because it was 'I' who taught me how to smile.

Yesterday i woke up with a smile, and tomorrow
is a land far away that is a dream worth chasing.
