Every Day- Version Ii
Well, Every day I wonder
If every day I'll fall
And anytime that I mess up
With no time to fix it all,
I wonder why I'm still going
Why I haven't broken yet
How I have strength to go again
No matter how dire the threat
But every day I get back up
And tell myself that I am strong
Even if tears will fill my eyes
I'm determined to move along
And every day I wonder
If the people can see me through
If they can see the bitterness
That keeps me dark and blue
I see the mess around me
And am determined to fix it all
Even though it can't be fixed
I can't bear to see it fall
And here I am, still wondering
In the ruins of all I held dear
How I'm still surviving
With what little comfort I have near
Holding fast to the rod of iron
At least as well as I can be
Trying hard to no longer wonder
What the darkness may do to me
*Note: I wrote a poem when I was 12 with the same title and subject, but the rhymes were awful and it didn't make much sense, so I took the first stanza, tweaked it, and went from there, resulting in version II of "Every Day". Enjoy!
