Just A Typical Day

A song I used to sing.

Just a typical day

out in the grey

world of the vast

USA.

 

I open my eyes

to the white sun rise.

Look out the window

at the pale blue skies.

 

I get out of bed,

at the 6'o clock hour.

Clear my head,

then hop into the shower.

 

Go upstairs,

and I write some poems.

" Lifes unfair "

and the poems keep goin . . . .

On--------

 

I grab my bags,

and I go to school.

What a drag,

this is so not cool.

 

Throughout the day,

I'm faced with more problems.

Though I have to say

its good in the long run.

So I'm,

living the typical day.

 

Just a typical day

out in the grey

world of the vast

USA.

 

I get home from chess club,

or maybe Math & Tech.

A life of poverty,

so I'd probably go to bed.

 

Wake up to a phone call,

sent by my mother.

Who else could it be?

There isn't any other.

 

Asking me, "how was your day. "

I said "Just like any other,

it was okay."

It was okay.

I'm living the typical day.

 

5 o' clock

and its back to the computer.

I know i'm not,

gonna amuse her.

I chat her anyways,

from my face book page.

 

Pull up a new tab.

Going to WritersCafe.

I write my poems,

while chatting not face to face.

 

Its all the same.

My life is filled with pain.

Its 100% sorrow,

the same things will happen to---mmorrow.

 

Just a typical day

out in the grey

world of the vast

USA.

 

Don't be afraid

just to speak to me.

I am not

your enemy.

 

Don't be afraid

D-D-Don't be afraid.

Just a typical day

J-J-Just a typical day.

 

I open my eyes

to the white sun rise.

Look out the window

at the pale. . . blue . . . skies---------.

Author's Note

These are song lyrics to one of my songs and I am trying to get the video on the internet.

Reviews

[Calypso]

I used to love to do the same and make up my own songs.

[Short.Nerd]

Haha I love it!!! Amazing job!(:

[Truman S. Booth]

Definitely musical. I guessed it was lyrics from the specific punctuation suggesting holding out certain words or cutting off others. Well done.

[Melanie Jane Boicourt S..]

It felt like a song as I was reading it. I write lyrical poems also. This poem is very mundane, which is fitting considering the circumstances that you are speaking of. I wish I knew the melody!!
