Night Fight
Another night
Another fight
I feel the burn
As I toss & turn
I feel my fears
I shed my tears
I want to dream
Instead I scream
Morning is here
There’s still fear
I take a pill
As if I’m Ill
It’s off to work
I’m just a clerk
Such a fuss
To catch a bus
A day in June
The time is noon
Out for a run
Under the sun
Its time to shower
To smell like a flower
Then back to my desk
where I do my best
Time is now five
I ‘m still alive
You work all day
For such little pay
I head for home
To find my comb
Its time to eat
And put up my feet
The day is done
I had no fun
It’s back to bed
To lay my head
I want to sleep
And count the sheep
But another night
Another fight
