Midweek--Poetic Justice

 

A Beautiful Life

Having a tough time loving myself

I blame my wealth… or lack there of.

I blame the man I say I love

I blame the people who do me wrong

I blame the daylight not staying so long

Or even the sunshine for not beeming down

But with all of the blames and the blamers to point,

I forget to point back at the girl with the frown

She shelters herself and the world moves around

She yells and she screams and she gets her own way

She wakes up too late, and stays in all day

I should blame this girl with her sadness and fear

It is her fault the day doesn’t pass in the clear

It is her fault her attitude is so bad you can hear

But why did it happen and why is it here?

This girl was once happy and most could concur

I guess it’s the change the change in the times

I suppose it’s the words and the sad simple lines

I am sure it’s the stress and the drama of life

But without the clouds we don’t appreciate sun light

I hope that this girl keeps her chin held up high.

I wish her the best, and Ill wave walking be

But more than anything, I just hope she finds peace

A calmness to maintain and a mountain to reach

For life is tough but beautifully defined

For life is tough but beautifully defined
