045 Today

I want to quit today,
To say "That’s it!" today,
To let myself off the hook today,
To give up and curl up with a book today.
But instead, today,
I will use my head, today.
I will push through today,
Do what I have to do today
After all, I say, we only have today,
Because every tomorrow becomes today,

Today.
