What's Up Today by Ivan Guerrero Najera

What's Up Today

Into unknown I fell a time ago
A disregard for consequences, yes

Back then, I chose to make the lesser mess
I’m deep and dark into this path, I know

Life and dilemmas, I gladly confess
Have gotten all the best of me so far

I dropped my guard, I also dropped the bar
To all my future hopes; inside I stress

The path I’ve chosen and the guiding star
Were my mistakes, I live with them today

They’ve taken me to here, this frightful way
This numbing, burning, never-healing scar

Lend me a hand for on my face I lay
So long, I don’t recall what’s up today
