TODAY

Today is like all other days,

You refuse to do it my way

Withhold what’s fair and my own

The respect I deserve is rarely shown

 

A catalyst for change is my driven life

I haven’t found myself, for I’m not a wife

Pushing me forward than pulling me down

I scream so loudly without a sound

 

Blah blah blah

Shish bang boom

I can’t even sit

Inside this room

 

What was good

Now is bad

I grieve at night

For what I had

It’s all gone now

In someone else’s home

I’ll find it someday

The more I roam

 

Supercalifradulisticexpialidosous

Whatever the fuck that means

I really hope it blows us

 

And everyone is listening

To these words I write tonight

All of them loud as hell

But hidden from my sight

 

What the * was it

That I was going to say

Oh yah, I remember

DON”T FORGET TO PAY!!

I wasn’t really a part of this

This I must convey

But hell I gave it my best shot

Now go on kids and play
