PAROXYSM
Looking back over time
When the world was mine,
I was always singing a song
I wonder what went wrong!
 
Believing that good was the way to go
Boy, how little did I know!
Airing on the positive side
Between good and bad, is a great divide
 
Trusting people to help the world
Telling you stories untold,
Thinking it was reality
Hadn’t a clue it was duplicity
 
So many wounded and so many died
Cannot imagine how they lied,
Now I live with so much sorrow
Just hoping for a better tomorrow
 
In the daylight hours I am mentally strong
Weaker at nights because it’s too long!
