Today was the hardest day I’ve had
And don’t try to convince me that
There is strength in every struggle
Because, when you look a little closer,
This world can be a ruthless place.
Even if
A spark of light breaks through sometimes
Relief and happiness never last.
And it’s not true that
It all starts in the mind and heart
Because
Real peace can be found
Only when a person’s surroundings are secure
It’s not true that hope survives
I’m certain you can see that
The reality
Builds
My response
It’s all outside of my control
And you will never hear me say that
Today was a good day
