Celebrate

Today is extraordinary
Each breath feels bizarre 
For today couldn't be ordinary
Neither unique like yesterday or tomorrow far
No forced rituals to insure a future scary
A future restrained and barred in uncertainty 

Yesterday was extraordinary too
I remember feeling as I do today 
For yesterday was uncouth 
All I did was ill mannered and dazed
For it was once an inhibited untruth
Doubting if tomorrow will be waged free

Tomorrow I malign 
Today glowered at me and performed
Yesterday was boorish but refined 
Imprisoned by the future sojourned 
What I can't know and must experience defines
And keeps me chained in what today spurns 

In today's liberty I celebrate my life
Dauntlessly, as a dubious tomorrow I sacrifice
