Morning Dawn
For every down there is an up,
but these thoughts they confuse me and go sideways,
both ways,
left and right,
never ending
Just pretending
that I'm up
cause I won't be down for long
For every sorrow there is a smile
it might be hidden behind the fears
not knowing what tommorrow brings
or what horrors from yesterdays still cling
Yet my face is blank in thought
not a frown
or one upside down
just thinking
never blinking
just wondering
what it is I'm waiting for
because my sorrows will once fade away
and a smile will dance upon these lips
For every tear there must be a laugh
life lightened
for too heavy a heart will sink
and I can no longer live in this depression
I've made it my mission
to be who I am
and that is who I am
with an open heart
and an open hand
I will dry your tears
If you will dry my mine
I will laugh at your jokes
be they funny or not
because the laughter washes away both out tears
and we no longer fear the morning dawn
when next to me is my friends
we shall crawl our way up from the downs
no matter how long we must travel sideways
We shall share our sorrows
so that we can both partake in the smiles that dance upon our lips
We shall shed tears with each
bacause we know that we can bring laughter to our hearts
and no matter what tommorrow bring
we no longer fear the morning dawn
