“SOMETIMES MY NIGHTS CAN GET LONG…”

WIPE MY EYES,

WHY EVEN TRY,

FOR ALL I HAVE ATTEMPTED I CANNOT KEEP THEM DRY,

FALLEN TO MY KNEES I AM ASKING GOD WHY,

THE PAIN IN MY HEART FROM SAYING GOODBYE,

HAPPINESS, IF ON SALE IN ABUNDANCE I WOULD BUY,

ANYTHING TO TAKE ME FROM THIS LOW TO THE ULTIMATE HIGH,

ALL THE YEARS I STAYED IN MY SHELL BECAUSE I WAS SO SHY,

I WAS ASKED PLENTY OF TIMES TILL IT FELT AS THOUGH THEY PICKED ME OPEN AND HAD TO PRY,

SHAKING THEIR HEADS AT TIME THEY WOULD SAY AND SIGH,

“YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO OPEN UP AT SOME POINT – YOU CANNOT REMAIN THIS WAY FOREVER TIME DOES FLY”,

BE HERE FOR YOU ALWAYS FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES,

THERE WON’T BE AN AMOUNT OF EFFORT THAT CAN BE COUNTED – WE WILL ALWAYS TRY,

YOU ARE NOT A BAD GUY,

EVERYBODY HAS A CLOCK ON THEIR LIFE AND THERE COMES A TIME THEY FOR WHATEVER REASON MUST DIE,

GET OUT YOUR BLACK SUIT AND STYLISH BLACK TIE,

ALL THE TOOLS YOU WERE GIVEN WHEN I AM GONE YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY,

ALLOW NO ONE TO STOP YOU, YOUR DREAMS AND GOALS THEY CANNOT DENY,

FEED YOUR MIND IN ABUNDANCE FOR THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF INFORMATION IN FULL SUPPLY,

WHEN PROVOCATED BE SURE TO WALK AWAY AND EAT YOUR HUMBLE PIE,

REMEMBER, RECALL, REMINISCE ON THE DAYS OF YOU AND I,

WHEN YOU FALL GET UP AND DO NOT BE AFRAID TO RETRY,

LEARN FROM YOUR LESSONS AND WITH LAWS ALWAYS COMPLY,

YOU LIVE AND YOU LEARN SO BE CAREFUL IF YOU LIE, 

AT THE END OF THE DAY ALWAYS VERIFY, 

SOMETIMES MY NIGHTS CAN GET LONG WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION YOU GIFTED ME, BUT ON IT I HEAVILY RELY, 

THANK YOU.
