This day started out well,

A dream and fantasy of the future,

A plan to move and get in the grind,

A plan to live well and think through,

I do this cause I have no choice,

If it were up to me,

I'd have left long ago,

But as the first cannot sleep away,

And think of not being in the light,

I stand here not because I want to,

I have to, I need to, And I must,

Be all I can be today.
