Today I stepped outside and looked around myself
and what did I find?

I found a big blue sky
the sun in my eyes
a gentle breeze
swaying trees
and soft grass beneath my feet

And what did I say to what I found outside?
"What a lovely day it is to stay inside".

I stepped inside and looked inside myself
and what did I find?

A dark gray sky
No sun in sight
Harsh winds
A forest decimated by this plight
All around me, my sins
Exhaustion takes me under

And what did I say to what I found in myself?
"What a lovely day it is to die."
