Declaration
this is a day for loud music & new shoes
there is a moment of sadness
because someone I love cried yesterday
this is a celebration of not knowing
this is the delight of quitting
today I can accept my own beauty
this is a white rose with pink-tipped petals
staring at me
there are no regrets in my heart
this is a good joke
this day sings to me whether I'm outside or in
this is golden skin
this is a day to catch my breath
there is a moment of anger
because some people drive badly
this is easy destruction
this is your favorite food that leaves you satisfied
this is a memory
there is a lost boy
not knowing what to find or where to look
today is 3 fingers of whiskey
today is Janis Joplin
this is a prayer
this is not what you're used to
