Smile For Awhile

I will smile for awhile
Till the morning comes
All the worries pile
On to my shoulders
The night loses style
Lost is the soldier
Disorganized stress
Life is but a mess

Tonight is different
I will smile for awhile
As the night I rent
Light meets morning
Morning meets schedule
From sleep I am torn
Energy took by the devil

Struggle through day
Drug through afternoon
Evening smirk I may
As my energy comes soon
Once again I am home
Mind stops churning
I am in my comfort zone
As I completed the last mile
Unsure if plans or ambition
For now, I smile for awhile
