One Dreary Day

I fell asleep one dreary day

I lost my will, I lost my way

I ran from all I ever knew

And feared the call I was supposed to pursue.

I drank from wells set on fire

And filled my voids with unholy desires.

I dressed the part to play the role

And slowly began to lose my soul.

But, when your down and

Shadows grow

And you finally have nowhere else to go

The only way to rise again

Is from the power of an eternal friend.

Many leave when you’re at your worst

When your hearts so heavy, it’s about to burst

Many claim so many titles

Their efforts are futile and their time is idle

Their promises bleed through the incisions

For they can’t possibly understand the mission.

Battles have been the hardest at times

And memories have played with my mind

But, I keep marching like any good solider would

Even though most of the time I am misunderstood.

I keep on fighting the forces and the fears,

Knowing one day he will wipe away every tear.

I keep on giving it my best even when it’s not enough

For only one holds my heart when the waves get too rough.

I keep on believing that one magnificent day

I will see true glory wash away my yesterdays

I keep on believing that one marvelous day,

I will see the gates of my destiny enrapture my today.
