Today
I'll pull the shades
and bolt the door.
Today
I dont want to see
the sun shine anymore.
Let the world go on without me
I don't want to play.
All of you can share
my yesterday.

Today
daylight burns
and the night dragged on.
Today
I curse the moon
and damn the dawn.
Today
there was just no way
that I could face the rising sun.
Ties that bind
have come undone.

It's not a good day
for my mind.
I've searched every soul
and could not find
a single one who understood
the visions in my head
or ever heard a word I said.

I'm not even sure
if thats the deal.
But today it surely
is the way I feel.
It's not some tragic moment.
There's no doubt
that I will cope.
I just need a little time
to pout and mope.

Today
I'm isolated
and alone.
Today
my heart is
just a heavy stone.
Today
I'm weary, teary,
and withdrawn.
Today...
World...please
pretend I'm gone.

Today
is not a good day
for my mind.
Let the world go on
without me.
I dont want to play.
All of you can share
my yesterday.

Take care
and share
my yesterday.

Sending you a big hug Larry.

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.

This is exactly how I feel today, Uriah.  Sorry to hear you do too.  The answer is to hug your animals.  If you don't have any, hug somebody else's animals.  They listen to every single word, they understand and will reply in a way that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.  

Friendly meeows and woofs from Tigger, my tabby and Daisy, my little Maltese poodle and tu-whit tu-whoos from me.

"I just need a little time

~ and you doing just that! ~ and very well, indeed. XO, we are all entitled! I too, shun the sun and am no fun at times!

As disgruntled as you sound, your charm still comes shining through! You can't fool an "angel".

Giving you a big understanding hug ~ and a tiny little kick in the bee hind!
