One Final Day
It was just another day
Was all I could really say
Nettles, what you been up to
Nothing much, just letting my time slip away
Man, I got to do something
Somebody said I should pray
But let us be honest
Isn’t that the answer
That they all really say
I swear that is what they all say
And I don’t even swear
This stress is ripping right through me
As if it was a tear
So I thought about suicide
But the blood was still inside
Because I just could not do it
I had too much pride
And besides…
It was just another day
Surely, it would not last this way.
I told God I might need
As many as it may take
If I am to find out
What keeps me awake
Is my problem so bad
That I can’t even sleep
God, what does my future hold
Can I at least take a peep
Is it a chromed out jeep
Or a couple of hallways to sweep
Or maybe it is my demise
To a midnight creep
I still do not know the answer
So all I can do is say
“Don’t lose patience with me yet
Please give me another day.”
And that day
Could be my last
So I am praying
That it won’t pass
Because my time
Is running out
And I am still
Filled with doubt
You see while I was
Begging for another day
Somewhere down the line
It became the only thing
That I would seem to pray
I gave up on you
Was all I could even say
I guess this road I took
Led me the wrong way
So I guess I will not be getting
Just Another Day
I am sorry that I lost faith
But what was I supposed to do
I kept praying and praying
But you still would not come through
I was done blaming everyone else
So the only person left was you
And now I am sitting here sick
With loads of mucus
I am forced to spit
And now the sickness is getting worse
Making it hard
To write this verse
Somehow I am stuck in last place
Trying to find my way to first
God, I will admit
Your ways I do not quite get
But I will stop and pray
And hope that you give me
If not two, then just
“One Final Day”
