It comes in sunlight clear as day
It whispers soft 'I'm here to stay'
It's grey and thin its tendrils small
It chokes the sun inside my walls
The sounds from wires trill up and down
They chase away my tears and frowns
My heart still aches although they're gone
It comes in spring, in summer, fall
I never know when it will call
The written word will comfort me
It holds me close till I can sleep
When I wake I close my eyes
I try to run but I can't hide
I carry on, I know I must
I give my music all my trust
It drags me down although I fight
I'll never give it day or night
At least I'll try that's all I do
It never seems that I come through
It's okay now
It has to be
There's nothing else that I can see
This is my future, past, and now
And that's okay I'll deal somehow
It still will come, I know it will
But I'll be here to fight and kill
I'll stave off tears and crushing fears
I'll smile wide, till light appears
I'll sing out loud and greet the sun
I'll try to live till life is done
I'll do my best at least I'll try
I'll come up with my own sweet rhyme
I'll cheers the years
Embrace the tears
I'll face my fears
Till I disappear
Nothing more right now can say
The way I'll face my peers today
It's always frowns and darkness deep
A fitful night of restless sleep
But that is me I know that now
I can no change what's written down
That's all I'll say
So it's goodbye
I'll keep my music by my side
The wisps of grey envelop me
And I accept but still you see
I know what's coming
So I can smile
I'll stand up tall and walk my mile
