Up and Down
Today is nothing but today.
Tomorrow is a day forced in my way.
Today is a romance embraced.
Tomorrow I’ll be in the right place.
Can you tell I’m up and down?
Can you see my smile frown?
Can you tell me I’ll be alright?
Can you see my joy tonight?
I feel lost and out of reach,
I feel laughter in my speech,
I feel relief when I use my pen,
I feel sad, then write again.
What if the sky was never blue?
What if I had never met you?
What if my happiness grew?
What am I supposed to do?
Is it normal to feel high then low?
Is it normal to come then go?
Is it normal to have joy in pain?
Is it normal to have a clean stain?
The truth is I need to feel good
The truth is I usually should
The truth is my pink is brown
The truth is I’m heightened down
