There are those days
There are good days, bad days and sad days,
There are happy days, snappy days, crappy days
There are days so fickle it seems you clasp
the wisps of joy eluding your grasp
There are those days...
Some days come off so intense
You'd only speak of them in past tense
Some days are so halcyon and carefree
Other days have you saying "Dear me"
Every other two hours because you make
The dumbest and silliest mistake
Some days are crazy and forlorn
That leave you all spent out and worn
You'd never stop feeling so blue
Those days come and go like flu
But the hardest days of all it seems
Having to handle the crash of dreams
Replaying each minute watching the hours
Receiving the thorns instead of flowers
Blaming yourself, and blaming the world
Then retreating to sob and cry, curled.
There are those days...
You'll have a fair share of good and bad
You won't imagine the days I've had
Mind-boggling, tongue-twisting, kabish-kabash
Of course the rich and the "out of cash"
Days of extreme luck and days of grit
Days of hard work in sleet and heat
And today you just got it over with
The flesh gone, leaving just the pith
It could have been worse you know
Think about the trauma people undergo
Are undergoing, accidents, crashes
The universe doggedly flogging them lashes
Homeless hopeless, days without sense.
You wouldn't even use it in a sentence,
You just lost, well even if it was
(your fault) don't dwell on the schmuck and schwuz
It's a random progression if you will
That some days be good and others still
Would go over your head or below
Or places that you won't want to go
Tomorrow it'll be glorious, that is true
Because after pain, joy is due
And even if it didn't end in praise
With a smile, (cry for a while) and then relate
As though you didn't have a worse-off fate
And say "There are those days..."
