This is my something
for the day
I'd better make it
good enough

When these words are penned
back I'll crawl
to my warm, safe bed
once again

This is my something
for the day
I'd better make it
deep enough

Things I feel between
wake and sleep
must settle somewhere
here I choose

This is my something
for the day
I'd better make it
sharp enough

Validation earned
only through wit
"Look, I'm clever, see?"
give me love

This is my something
for the day
I'd better make it
true enough

No lies on this page
so I say
but do you believe
my quick tongue?
