Nothing changed today

A broken hearted song was still sung by the broken man on the broken corner

A melody molded from miseries long forgotten by all but him 

But today I listened

 

And nothing changed today

That bullied girl still bowed her head as she scurried off to her house

The fire in her eyes dulling

As if the flame won't last

But today I saw her

 

And nothing changed today

I still walked my same old path

My hands in my pockets, heading for my class

But I think my heart may have reset itself

It may have switched its beat

Because nothing changed today

Nothing but me
