on a better day

sometimes
when I sit and cry
and realize
there's no reason why
I have to give
it all away.

there's nobody left
to blame it on
and I figure out
that I'm on my own
and I know no
revelation's coming.

there are times
I let the darkness in
and settle into
whatever's left within
and know no one
will knock on my door.

light will dawn again
in the morning.
it will drive out
this cold storming
and I will stand again
on a better day.
