The
day dawned yet its dusk
Spirits
are down a life at risk
Stomach
groans sign of trick
I
lie down and listen to the clock tick
The
day has lived
I
smile to hide the desperation
I
smile at least to get consolation
I
smile as though in anticipation
I
smile to cover the irritation
And
again the day lives
The
next morning life is still dark
The
sun rises yet light doesn’t spark
Another
day another problem in the pack
I
stop the grumble and go to take crack
Because
the day has to live
I
pray and hope
But
everything flope
Life’s
is not a slope
Maybe
I should take dope
Before
the day lives
Is
it the third day of the week?
I
am feeling like a freak
Failures
make my heart meek
I
wonder if I’ll see end of week
The
brew made my body weak
Did
today live?
Today
though, is a bright morning!
I have
to stop this brooding and mourning
I
swear to get up and start searching
When
am still young and developing
Because,
I must live.
