ok you can pull the shades, i am done with today

more appropriate wording is today is done with me

with the first breath of the morning and you feel the razor’s edge

better start prayin’ fast, cause you know you are going to be in for it

the magic pill that is supposed to keep you balanced and calm might as well have been a gumball or something sweet to chew on

because the fibers in your neck are just like cords of steel and that can only mean one thing, you is packin’ and ready to deal

so invisible hands go to work putting stitches in your lip and shackles on your hands

as words try to escape they contort you face and you try not to show it but people see you are in a fight

your hands what to reach out and touch, but not a handshake and you remember what an old woman said after you said hello…………………….” wouldn’t you just once like to smack someone in the face and not have to worry about going to jail” and sometimes yes i would

today didn’t get me but it gave it a damn good shoot, winged me on the shoulder but i missed the brunt by stepping aside

i made it through today and have no need for apologies or amends, and all things considered i’m satisfied with a draw

done
