I’ve Changed My Mind

Woke up this spry misty morning

Restless to change the ho-hum of my life.

Bored with the humdrum/doldrums that’s

Plagued for so long.

 

Spoke up to issue fair warning

To any who might try to add to my strife.

Nothing and no one allowed to

Silence my song.

 

Yesterday’s sorrows are still there,

A constant companion wherever I go.

A badge I wear pinned to my heart

Next to your memory.

And all my tomorrows are threadbare,

Fallow, unchanged, unintended to grow.

Day after day after

Long lonely day

Yesterday is all I can see.

 

But you wouldn’t want me to

Carry that burden,

Living my life in a haze. So,

I woke up this morning and

I’ve changed my mind

To start living the rest of my days.
