Today is the day I will be okay.

No more pushing it off. I have to try.

I know it’ll be hard, but I’ll make a way.


I’ll go to the Lord, close my eyes and pray.

Perhaps that’ll keep my eyes nice and dry.

Today is the day I will be okay.


I’ll fight real hard to keep my mind at bay.

To think of nicer things as time goes by.

I know it’ll be hard, but I’ll make a way.


I’ll paint my skies blue, to cover the gray

And water my flowers, so they won’t die.

Today is the day I will be okay.


Too long I’ve been without a happy day.

Perhaps I can fake it, and live a lie.

I know it’ll be hard, but I’ll make a way.


I’ll do what I can, however I may.

Fighting for happiness is worth a try.

Today is the day I will be okay.

I know it’ll be hard, but I’ll make a way.

This is a Villanelle that I wrote during a very difficult time of my life.
