Today is today
Today I say
Not tomorrow not yesterday
Today is the day
Today I say
Today is not the wrongs you’ve made
Today is not the promises you’ve changed
Today is today
Today I say

The author's comments:
I really think this article is important not just for teens but also for adults because I think we tend to dwell on mistakes of the past or problems we face in the future. When all we have right now is today. Today is today.
