Bad Day

Hard times aren't always so beautiful

Something this terrible

Isn't always so easy to laugh at

A smoke-filled hazard

Forces out tears with no real feeling

I could've crashed today

I'd be smiling as I dragged myself away

Maybe the burden's given me too much

Too much room to lean and bend

And by now it seems

I should be used to my unhappiness

Just yesterday I thought I'd break down and cry

I ended up shrugging my shoulders and walking it off

It shouldn't be so

It should never be so

And an unexpected back massage

Had never felt so lifting

I'm sure you've heard of the trials

So many people screaming their problems aloud

What was meant of this time and place?

I'm sure we're wasting our lives

I keep testing your patience for a reason

To see if it was there to begin with

I had never felt so tangled

I couldn't think of a proper ending for this page

So I did the expected, wishing it forward

I'm sure some would find it humorous

Even my car refused to cooperate

O.J., why do you betray?

No response, I'll walk away

Smaller people with fuller egos

It's hard not to smile when they raise their fist

It happens daily

And tomorrow

I think I'll do my best to avoid it

And I guess, while I'm at it

Avoid you.



See you tomorrow.
