Today, as every day
(I wrote you a poem)
Today, as every day
Today, as every day
we are crying out in pain
we are reaching out in desperate love
we are suffering in loneliness
we are trying to find each other
Today, as every day
we feel ill-prepared and ill-equipped
we are trying to find resources
we are trying to offer ourselves as a resource
we are trying to listen
we are trying to get someone to listen
Today, as every day
we are breaking under the pressure
we are falling, we are rising
we are holding each other up, and together
we are trying to save each other’s lives
