about

-An old poem of mine, originally written about waking up on the 'wrong side' of the bed, but being determined to make it a 'right side' of the bed sort of day.
-I used to perform it, like this at open mics. I got surprisingly supportive feedback at times, but mostly, it sounded like this. It sounded like no one was listening.

lyrics

[open mic bar crowd / not listening]
You ever wake up and thought aloud
That day would be the best
Only come to find out
It was worse than all the rest
Well, all I can tell you
Is don’t get too down, cuz
Half the battle is how you choose to respond
Now that’s not to ignore the
Real problems of the world
But rather to explore
Every feeling robbing us of heaven
Here at the core
And it is our responsibility to
Take up this fight
And strike a chord against these
Choruses killing me word by word,
Every single night
Are we even listening?
Go on and light up the bird
Like a phoenix from the ashes
Of these times and the clashes
We have the power but now comes action
Fight the power, wait
Reaction,
Reassessment and revolution
Maybe, we shoulda
Thought more before
Starting this movement.
Cause they say fables have a moral,
But where is mine then?
Real life is harder to reflect on
When it’s just never as
Good as the fiction
