You hope that that was the last night coming your way
You pray and wish with all your heart
That somehow you've been blessed with the art
Of solving life, the puzzle as it be
With the things to do and more to see
And yet, cometh the night like clockwork tick
With darkness so deep that your each nerve does prick
You slip into bowels of despair and doubt
And are too scared to even give hope a shout
You know it won't matter much tomorrow
But today, it brings on nought but sorrow
You berate yourself over and over again
To have landed yourself in this pool of pain
Life's taught you well and taught you good
That each step is our choice, as it always should
So why do you flounder and give night the way
To come into your life and cloud the bright day
You know better, you are smarter than this
You did after all figure your way to bliss
So why must you fall into life's silly traps
So that it, in gloom, does you wrap?
You don't deserve this, you are worth more
So hold the boat tight and wait to reach the shore
Where the sun will peep right back up the horizon
And life'll be the joy it almost always has been...
