Day Off
I need a day off
from this irritating cough
i need a day off
from the snickers, smirks and scoffs
I really need a day off
from all these butterflied up moths
will I ever get a break
from this sickness, keeping me awake
will I ever get a break
from admitting my mistakes
could I please just get a break
from confusing what is fake
I wish I could get a rest
from this god forsaken test
I wish I could get a rest
from all the weight upon my chest
I wish I could get a rest
from getting myself so depressed
but I need to step it up again
to restore my word to what its been
but i need to step it up again
never ceasing my conditionin'
I mean I really need to step it up this time
in my life, my brain, and in my rhyme
