Yesterday

seems like yesterday
i was up and coming
in a place

where the sky wasn’t
this big
and the strings
swayed the mortals
who believed
religiously
in their fate
hanging by the limbs
of an ancient tree
of life

where the herd
blew the individuality
away
and the monarchs
led the way
to an alluring
yet disdain future

where loneliness
when not desired
comes easily
but in times of need
it shies away

nothing much has changed
since
but me and the days
for now it seems like
yesterday

but yesterday
it was
today.
