Living Yesterday

We live in yesterday, but not in now, hoping to change something. Adding ourselves to the grayness of the crowd, we're all trying to teach everyone something. Forgetting the grievances of the past, step forward, like it's the first time. Feel the emotional burst. Start your story over again. Describe what's around you — nature's colors, the singing of birds. Don't close the vicious circle made of eternally dissatisfied faces. Instead, tear it open, quickly! Fill your cup with something new. You'll get the key to every door — no need to bang your head against the wall. Figure out how to break through that gap, sink the ship of bile. Once you find the edge of consciousness, start living life all the way, full throttle. Like the gingerbread man, running from granny and grandpa, walk forward and don't be timid. And remember — you're not alone. An army of friends is with you.
