Some days, blue skies blanket me in heaven’s rays

the world is charged with rejuvenating, living color

Warmth envelopes my heart and soul

and I am worthy of feeling



Yet, then the world turns, and I wake to gray

and fire boils my blood and burns my brain

I’m left to fight a battle with my pain

but these are the most paramount of days



I reminisce in moments stretching on

forgetting who I am, for what I live

In peace and solace given, I am gone

In peril I’m restored with heart to give



For in these days I fight as sunlight hides

and find my strength is waiting in the mist

to seek a shred of beauty as I’m blind

and darkness demands I be vigorous


So simple would it be for me 

to just capitulate

Surrender to my apathy

when in this sorry state



How easy I might find it is,

to wallow, destitute

Yet, hardened in my promises,

I am forever resolute



When languish tempts my weary soul 

and pleasant dreams abound in bed

I’ll carry on to reach my goal, 

and lift my heavy head
