Good morning World,

How are you today?

Could it be that for a change,

Nice things could come to play?

 

Yesterday was not the best,

I remember being quite sad.

I hoped for laughter and joy,

but it all went very bad.

 

I lost my world, I lost my anchor

and I don't think that's right.

What did I do so wrong

to end up in this plight?

 

What did I do to make you cross,

To make you punish me?

You did your best to beat me down

Now I'm less than I could be.

 

So, world, send me a sign

Because I'm standing at a fork.

I've tried to do the best I could,

But have I made it work?

 

Are there better things ahead?

Do I need to be prepared?

Is this a test from you

Because it's got me really scared.

 

I caught everything you threw

I took it on the chin.

Now I need to know

Whether to end or to begin.

 

I can see the rest of my life

Stretching to the ground below.

Is that all you have for me?

You should tell me, I need to know.

 

So good morning World,

How are you today?

Tell me what you want from me

I really want to stay...

I don't generally do poetry. I don't think I've written a poem since high school. Maybe I've started spontaneously coming up with song lyrics. I honestly don't know. Weird.

 

Honestly, I'm not an angsty teenager!
