Four Leaf Clover

looking for a four leaf clover
in a desert full of sand
luck running out
in a life so bland

 

try to take it day by day
attempting to live in a new way
still it makes me laugh
at these words I say

 

looking back
at the biggest days in my life
how it ever led
to that day I almost ended it all
with one knife

 

but it that moment
I owned it
I felt on top of the world
forgetting all my morals
remembering all the pain
that led to that day

 

did I come away from it stronger?
that's still to be told
may never know
hopefully i'll find out
before I'm too old

 

efforts running out
attempts become less and less
tired of the adversity
tired of the tests

 

trying to forget all the rest
trying to make my new
wish I could renew
the man I used to be
want to think clearly
seems I can't
hense the reason
for this senseless rant

 

so I'll just keep searching
for my four leaf clover
won't give up
til' it's seemingly over
