On days that seem to go on forever,

I grasp to hold onto something,

Not realizing quite yet,

That which I seek,

Is here.

So near,

Yet I critique,

And find it hard to bet,

On this bird with a broken wing,

Who fools the world trying to be clever.

And tries to manipulate whomever,

But people are much less trusting,

After watching me fret,

Not seeming weak,

They jeer.

I fear,

Is life so bleak?

Blind to all I regret,

Yet there has to be a reason to sing,

So I soar up to this new endeavor.
