The Avoided Day

This is not just another day The clouds above all seem gray None of us know what to say My mind needs to stay focused and not go a stray I remember the days we used to play It is the Life we need to portray Or is this final come what may I want to be selfish and make her stay I guess this is the time we all need to pray You tell yourself this is all going to be okay There are some things I wish we could delay Reality is here and it is planned this way Because this is the price we all must pay.
