The Way I Feel Today

I'm not promised tomorrow
but i'm not sure i'm willing to give it up 
theres so much i can't say
but there's so much i'm compelled to 
you want rhythm and blues
But all i see is turmoil
and plots that seem to go unfoiled
maybe i'll live, maybe i won't 
whatever i do, what is it to you
a few compliments and comments
to seduce me further into a rage
that you donot understand
the unfortunate desires of an aling man
will you stand beside me 
in my hours of misfortunes
will you hold my hand
the moral is don't be the first
to voice your opinion
Don't want for a better tomorrow
Because they will only bury you
in yesterdays horror
MLK, JFK, Mr. Tupac Shakur
writers and spokesmen of this ongoing storm
life's been two cents short 
of a bagel and manour since i was born
rebels of a better day i'll see you soon

You have spoken so clearly your feelings today. The feelings in this life are so dark and frustrated at times and you spoke it well.

I hear what you're saying, Jerry. It's so difficult to find someone who "will...stand beside me in my hours of misfortunes." Someone I love decided it wasn't worth the effort. I truly feel your pain tonight. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
