The Yawn SongA Poem by DhemilaThis is, again, a song. The first two stanzas are quieter, and then the third breaks in. Towards the end of the third starting with 'am I' there is a crescendo of sorts, and then over the last two stanzas which are repetitions, there is some more complicaWho are you To say I'm making a mistake I don't decide today's a wednesday Any more than I decide to come down this way
It's Late again But i'd rather be awake I used to be the best of sleepers Not anymore
Answer the phone I'll ring you when my ringing ears are done Laugh, laugh some more It's all we do, it's what we're in love for Pull open doors But pull the curtains shut Draw spider webs Inside our windows Make believe that we're not home No we're alone No we're together No it's wrong But yes its right Can it be not alright Am I alright Is this a fight To keep to hold to have And never have to want to hold To be just not be to sit to stand just for beleif What do these words mean Do they Have any weight in what we say Do we Gave any luck With living free Am I Just one more pebble in the brook Or do the waves like me enough To pick me up and carry me [away]
Who Are you To say I'm making a mistake I don't decide today's a wednesday Any more than I decide to grow up this way © 2009 Dhemila |
