Life Won't

Life can be a dream, 

It can flow like a stream

Life can sweep us along

It can flow like a song

Life can seem dark

It can move like a shark

 

One day is bright

One day just hovers

One day is bad

And  then that day is over

 

It’s like a chart

With the market’s results

My day can be high

My day can be low

 

What I fear most is the day

That the chart will show

Nothing happened today

It’s time to go

 

Flat liner at best

And finally at God’s breast

 

Worry hides in my cracks

Fear lurks in the dark

Frustration overtakes

And my body asks

 

What now fair lady

Can you make it work

For one more day

Don’t be a jerk

 

I say to myself

That my heart may break

If I don’t do something

To end the ache

 

Go to a movie

Go for a swim

Take a shower

That’s what I tell them

 

Follow your advice

Don’t think twice

If you don’t

Life won’t
