Creating Days

by Cogitator


How did I come to feel this way?
Curled up in fetal position
Can't even eat without retching
Because I screwed up my own life

Stupid ego got best of me
Made me do things I knew were wrong
Give me a gun, a rope, a knife
To end this pain and end my life

I create hell for my own self
I've no one else to blame for it
There's no pointing anywhere else
The pain I feel I created

What is this devil mind
That wants to run my body?
Revels in all destruction
Go 'way and let me be

Resurrection comes when we wake
Create one day is what we'll do
Are we to give or will we take
The real answer is up to you

There's no such thing as yesterday
Neither is there a tomorrow
We project those to find our way
Be positive there's more to know

If this is true, can we agree
That we are more than human state
Open our mind and let us see
Only today can we create

One day is life for each of us
We have no choice and no debate
We mostly talk and don't discuss
We can choose love rather than hate

Why some of us pollute our day
Not just ourselves, but for others
Is not to hurt, it's just a way
Of screaming out to our brothers

We'll die this night and live again
After this day comes to an end
Perhaps it's time that we begin
Knowing Today is our best friend




Loving life makes everything materialize.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
