A new one to read at romp me thinks

The night sky whispers to me
today is your day and tonight is your night
so don't abide by the rules
and do as you like
And I'm trying and I'm trying
And the things are so bad
As I try to remember the fun that I've had
Tonight is my night
Today was my day
But it's much more fun when the sun peels away
Moonlight masks are the most real of them all
As you're walking on air and trying not to fall
Tonight is my night
And today is my day
While the sun is out
These stars will play
Behind the vodka and mindless drinking
Haunting the eyes of the drug less blinking
Squinting in the pale light of the moon and it's sky
As the teenagers act like they don't want to die
The powders thrown into their bodies and the herbs and the leaves thrown into their cancers
They suck them like the bottle that once did so good
But they don't care for you any more
Because today was their day and tonight was their night but you ruined it - the teenagers and their fight.
