Robert Johnson Poet Rhyme

Only Answer I Get

I was searching through the darkness in the middle of the night.
Looking for some answers to help me shed some light.
On those questions that leave me to weak to fight.
On the difference between wrong and right.

I wake up in the morning still trying to find my way.
Afraid that I will just lose another day.
Looking for blue skies in a cloud of gray.
Hopes the only reason I can find to stay.

Tomorrows coming forever more.
But today, I just don't know what for.
The past has paved it's way.
Shrug my shoulders, nothing left to say.
