Today Today i am immune to negativity Immune to the concept that laughter is a foreign language And joy can only be shaken forward through a forbidden tongue Today i embrace the wind The fragrance captured in the leaves The orange tanginess of lemon drops The moments smoky with soft kisses and stolen glances Today i embrace the questions And challenge the doubts My head aches from over thinking the lines and rhythms and confines of this poem Keeping me tucked away from the issues and shades of gray Today over thinking is a mystery And my hips are exactly the shape and size they should be Because today, finally, i am walking in the fullness and liberty of joy

About the Book
Today
Today i am immune to negativity
immune to the concept that laughter is a foreign language
And joy can only be shaken forward through a forbidden tongue
Today i embrace the wind
The fragrance captured in the leaves
The orange tanginess of lemon drops
The moments smoky with soft kisses and stolen glances
Today i embrace the questions
And challenge the doubts
My head aches from over thinking the lines and rhythms and confines of this poem
Keeping me tucked away from the issues and shades of gray
Today over thinking is a mystery
And my hips are exactly the shape and size they should be
Because today, finally, i am walking in the fullness and liberty of joy
