I woke up a little a divergent, A little more out of the box, A little more in multiple places, A little more me than the me before. I wrote a long cherished poem On my question paper yesterday; And I’m a little more free, today, A little bit closer to who I want to be. What do I have to lose If the prize wasn’t with me, If the prize isn’t for me, If the prize is in me, me, today and forever? I woke up a little wiser, calmer today, I live a little more mindful today, I breathe a little more softly today; Life is a little more mine than ever before, today.
