Poem
Sometimes life is okay Okay to be normal Okay to be average These are my Black and white days My days that marked black and white Sometimes it’s alright to be okay Sometimes it’s okay to be alright Sometimes it’s okay to be alike He’d clean the parking lot He really didn’t ask for a lot He walked with the rain Drenched he didn’t complain He lived in a tent Really was the last to comment He didn’t play the blues It was just another day without shoes He didn’t need faith to know his place He never mumbled Pick up debris and marked subtly Now Jon-boy saw the sun rise He saw the sun set He was thankful for whomever he met He went to help a man in a nice suit and tie He lie there on the pavement begging to die As he reached out the man nearly cried Leave me alone you stupid man I don’t need help from homeless dude To help me stand His days were never saddened But sadly on this day it had to happen She saw a broken man She took his hand She and her purple curls She was right there where you were She told him Sometimes life is okay Normality’s alright but it’s okay to be average And if average isn’t enough Then it’s alright to be normal These are my black and white days My days that are marked black and white Sometimes it’s alright to be okay Sometimes it’s okay to be alright Sometimes it’s okay to be alike She said It’s the spool of yarn life strings you The value of having less This image before you is surviving stress Why are you trying to cripple me with time I’ve shaded blinds Sang through chimes Stepped away from my mind A time or two Made giants fall Hugged empty walls Picked myself up and once more crawled I’ve prayed and failed I’ve failed and not prayed I’ve seen the spoils of belief I’ve been full and never got enough Been hungry and could not eat Been clean and messed up sheets Been impure and could not sleep "been on the other side of a persuaded mind"
