Some Day

Some Day

Sink back into my music,
Float along with the notes
Become obsolete in this earth,
Creating a world of my own
In my mind.

Sway to the beat,
The sound of the guitar
The lilt of the singer's voice.
It's all much sweeter than real life,
I close my eyes to end my strife.

Some day I'll be smiling,
Some day I'll be beautiful.
Some day this pain will go away,
My stomach will unknot,
And cry, I no longer will.
The real challenge is holding on
Until that moment
When it will be safe to let go.

Plug my ears of the sounds,
Drain my mind of the stress,
Hide from my problems;
I'm not a good role model,
But that hardly matters any more.

Saving my sanity will be a struggle,
But it's vital to my survival
When I detach myself from my utopia
And slip back into chilling reality.

Some day I'll be smiling,
Some day I'll be beautiful.
Some day this
pain will go away,
My stomach will unknot,
And cry, I no longer will.
The real challenge is holding on
Until that moment
When it will be safe to let go.

Life throws punches without mercy,
Even when you're down on your knees,
Begging.
The music, the books,
They are my safety.

Fly away on my paper wings
Ignorant of the world around me.
That's how I'll be;
A turtle in her fragile shell.

Some day I'll be smiling,
Some day I'll be beautiful.
Some day this
pain will go away,
My stomach will unknot,
And cry, I no longer will.
The real challenge is holding on
Until that moment
When it will be safe to let go.

But until that day,
That glorious some-day,
I'll be sitting here waiting
Trying to fade away.
Wish me luck, darling,
Wish me smooth sailings
On the boat of my dreams
In this choppy sea of misery.
