One of Those Days

 
 
Did you ever have one of those days
One of those days where you really  
See things and people for what they really are
One of those days where you resolve to do something about it.  
One of those days when you decide enough is enough,
One of those days when you realize that if you act like a doormat  
People will walk over you and stand on you like you don’t really matter.  
One of those days when the values and principles you once held have  
Been turned to dust and the person you are changes out of necessity.  
Today is that kind of day.
Its funny how something that initially seems trivial  
Can cause such a resounding and deep internal reaction.  
I am sure christians would refer to it as an  
“on the road to Damascus experience”,  
Alcoholics would refer to it  
as a moment of clarity.  
I call it;
“Shit happens, No more”.
 
“I’m tired  
No!  
I mean really tired  
No!!!!,
I mean much more fuckin tired than even that!”
 
Tired of trying, tired of giving
Tired of life tired and tired of living
Living this life and what its become
Those around you show feelings are numb
Tired of the falseness fed up with the lies
Tired of excuses and bullshit alibis
Tired of what should be; instead of what is
Fed up with two faces and which one to kiss
Change is vital positivity included
Some by their actions will be deliberately excluded
Its now all about gain and loss
and if you don’t like that I don’t give a toss
If love conquers all and that’s how it should be
I’ll look in your eyes and we’ll soon fuckin see
Before anyone sees this as a suicide note,  
Its Not: I am now just taking life by the throat
I’m a grumpy old bastard that’s had enough  
 
I am choosing to change with or without help,  
Love and caring which should be there  
But in some it plainly isn’t.
If you feel any of this applies to you, then it probably does
If you feel none of this could ever apply to you then it definitely does
If you don’t care either way then why finish reading this fuckin sentence  
Just go in peace,  
Go with god  
Put simply just fuckin GO!
With one good friend with me, the sky’s the limit
