I Sing the Blues Today

Everything was fine yesterday But today I need to sing the blues When I woke up this morning The sun was a little bit dimmer The birds were out of tune Strangers seemed stranger The buses were running late In my mind nothing could go right My own thoughts turned against me Everything was out of order A darker shade of blue I couldn't tell you What the difference was Between yesterday and today All I know is Today I need to sing the blues Because I have a song that needs to be heard Or else all the notes Will build up in my mind And take over every inch of space But you need to hear my song So you know that your not the only one Who sings the blues today

"I can't hear nothing but the blues" could be we have something in common. I love the blues. I like this poem also. You are a very talented writer. You might like the song in quotation marks by Son Seals.
