Your Chosen Misery

When the ones you love have let you down

Feel failure and wear the fool's crown

Remember still there is a blessing

Within the hardest lesson

You self serving arrogant sycophant

Your selfish acts, thoughtless tasks and livid rants

Every time you want to make the world go away

Just take an injection of your chosen misery

And when I fall

I have the strength to learn the steps

And crawl into the pain

Sometimes the mirror is cruel

If your mother gave the lesson

Never waste the truth

You self serving arrogant sycophant

Your selfish acts, thoughtless tasks and livid rants

Every time you want to make the world go away

Just take an injection of your chosen misery

Yesterday was plagued with rain

Like silent drops of velvet pain

Hail yesterday

Thursday was the day of sin

Friday silent hell began

Hail yesterday

Saturday was plagued with rain - I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday

Sunday never came to mind - I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me

Monday's afterthought was blind - I played the jester perfectly, hail yesterday

Tuesday stole the show - I played the jester perfectly when misery delivered me

Hail yesterday

Hail yesterday

Tuesday stole the show, when Wednesday killed the golden crown.
