Many pieces of my fractured self
Lie like leaves upon the ground
And though I place my dreams on the shelf
My hopes still keep hanging around
It feels too real to realize
That life has passed before my eyes

The stifling, remorseless grip of life
And the timeless mental test
Only the sky which has no height
Or what used to be my best
It took a lifetime of resistance to see
My best, again, will never be

So many of us have days that we feel beaten down, perhaps this is just a Bluesday instead of simply being a Monday...

but I concur, never say ...never...

My hopes still keep hanging around"
