This greeting comes
Have a nice day
Easier said than done

Haven't had one in a while
Can name the reasons why
The list as long as the Nile

What to do or what not to do
The question I'm left to ponder solo
Feels familiar, always has, oh no!

What shall I do?
Rescue me!
Come to me on bended knee

It won't happen, we're not dating
I'd sabbatoge it if you did
I need pure raw emotions that you keep well hid

The sexes unstable in this world today
What connotations does it carry
When you say, "have a nice day"

Stranger than death is life
Full of chaos, full of strife
Honesty is hard to come by
Trouble brewing 'round every corner

Like a glass of milk upon a counter
Our lives are rotting away
Under the illusion of newness
Brought about each passing day

Hard to live with both eyes open
Tossed about and hurled
Moving about like puppets
We're living in a dying world

The glass remains half empty
And disappointed I remain
In love
In life
To me they're one and the same

My expectations too high?
Is it wrong to want more?
In love
In life
To me, I'm not one to adore

Disappointed at times
Beyond belief, unimaginable
In love
In life
Told often I'm incorrigible

Our love story doesn't exist
It's what I create within the walls of my mind
I pretend you're who I need you to be

What once were qualities needed
Are no longer so
This day and time it's about qualities desired

Women living the roles of men
Men domesticated in aprons
Sprawled out on couches

Men living the roles of women
Women working two jobs
Going without sleep feeding the children

It's sad to think that generations past
Took part in solidifying my destiny
To never have what I really need

Our love story doesn't exist
It's what I create within the walls of my mind
I pretend you're who I need you to be

Forever held captive and unappreciated
Rules no where to be found
Until now I was captivated
I have finally found a way out
Tis life I say with a pout

Perhaps it's me I say
Reminding myself
Of where I come from
God help me
Remember
And praise you for the challenges
May they help me feel alive

Today is another day
That's what you dislike about me
I've tried it your way holding grudges
After all, it's who I used to be

I've done it all
Many things twice or more
Treating me like I'm naive
Irritates me to the core

Perhaps because I'm younger than you
Or maybe because I get told I look like a child
You are who you are
I am who I am no longer wild

Is the notion to go out to sow some oats still there?
It is for me still, doubt remains it will suffice
Why you deny it's the same for you I do not know
I doubt you'll admit it once much less twice

Hearing what God wants or what the Lord says
Isn't the same as knowing what you want
I know I've been living both scenarios
Scared to ask for signs, fear of an inappropriate jaunt

Ultimately we both know His desires
Between you and I
I believe I'm more certain than you
Believing it may be so 'til I die

I have strong beliefs in the unknown
The unrealized, the unseen
Bad days are bad, good days are good
Whatever shall tomorrow bring?

My walk in faith though short
Has supported what I always felt existed
Yet the closer I work to obtain it completely
The further away it gets, almost resisted

Why can't I find true love in the music
That which brings me to life
Any tempo, any rhythm
Even the sad causes me no true strife

I can get lost in the harmony, lost in the beat
Found in it's simplicity
Resurrected in its complexity
Wherever shall it be?

Perhaps, when I'm not looking
Not searching, unexpectedly
There faith will stand
In all it's splendor I'll legitimately believe
