It’s that feeling
Making its way around again
Right back to me

Running away
I’m not taking it for granted

Hurt is blowing away in the wind
Fear is throwing itself away

This is today
Tomorrow
And the rest of your life

I won’t push you down
You won’t be badly treated
You’ll only have to be yourself

Running away
I’m not taking it for granted

You can stand your ground
Your opinion won’t be banned
This is your right to fight

Let go
But remember to hold on
Because life doesn’t look after itself

You can have today
But don’t ever turn away
From yesterday.

small insignificant useless me

Balancing the opposites like monkeys on a teeter-totter -- nicely done. I especially like the way you use an irregular form to keep the reader off balance.
