Another Day
Star light,star bright
I wish I may I wish might
Get through Another day
another night
a vicious cycle a useless fight
Can i just Be left alone
Maybe i will turn out all right
As Time slowly ticks away
Another hour another day
Tomorrow's another day
It ends up the same anyway
Another Gain another loss
Blah!blah!a greedy boss
A coin flip a hacky sack toss
Cross my fingers,make the sign
of the cross
It's crazy cause thinking so
much has me losing all the
sleep
I guess whatever they tell
themselves to sleep is what
helps them awake
Shepard's should be concerned
with counting sheep.
I should fault myself,for letting
everyone take,take,take!!!!
The feeling of being abused
There's only so much I can
tolerate
Will I always be used?
How many can I exonerate?
How many people can I let take
me for a ride
Before I turn to foolish pride
there is not an once of me left
Cause my life fell victim to a
petty debt.
I call it petty
it wasn't taken in one lump
sum
Like a meal for a homeless bum
Penny by penny
A friend an enemy
Was anyone a friend to me?
Everything feels like a
compromise
Wish full thinking had me
hoping for a surprise
Everything seems so
predictable
Lies so large they warp our own
principles
Like a Black man trying to rent
a room in Mississippi, and all
are vacant
Can't help you sir!the man at
checkin replied
I know how the story goes
But Dam!!I wish it wouldn't
have to be so blatant
Virtues,a vice
A thin line between the two
Deceit,advice
1 and one makes two
A mountain,a grain of rice
How do we measure the two?
You can move a mountain for
someone,steel a grain of rice
,and the relationship is over
with through!!
