Black Day

Today was a black day

And I have no reason to be gay.

My motives have faded

The same way that I have been jaded,

And yet the turbulent moments

Keep playing day by day.

 

Sometimes when I look

To the sky,

I cannot help but to cry.

I always seem to ask the same questions

Oh why! Oh why!

 

No answer. I’m not surprised.

For the reaper has taken my prize,

And the result is I have now lost my pride.

Oh my pride! My sweet, sweet pride,

Oh how you’ve been down sized!

And yet, still no one takes my side

 

Now that the sky has

Lost my interest

I search my surrounding

And notice the trees dying,

For it must be autumn.

For this is the time of the year

When everything begins to die.

 

The withering of the trees

Sometimes reminds me of my dreams,

How gallant they must have been

How passionate they must have seemed.

Before they were taken by that fiend

 

Yes today was a black day

And I must say,

My dreams may

Be a needle in a hay Stack,

The needle

May be impossible to find, but

No worries, for I will burn the

Hay and take my needle back!

And keep living through my black days!
