Someday

[Crichon]

I woke up today knowing what I had to do.

Just like any other day, I get dressed and put on my shoes.

But for some reason, the sky seemed more blue,

the sun seemed brighter, even the air felt a bit lighter.

When I get to work, I put in my eight hours.

Stop over at my girl's to bring her flowers.

But it's friday night, and the party's going strong.

Hit up my boys and it's time to get it on.

After the party, it's time to go home.

I tell my friends, "See you later."

But I know that I won't, they'll all be in sorrow.

Tonight's the night I close my eyes and kiss the world goodbye.

I woke up knowing that today would be my last.

God damn life seems to go too fast.

It's all over now, but I've got no regrets.

At least I know that I tried my best.

Interesting poem. I'm trying to decide if the person commit suicide of if they were ill and just knew it would be their last. I'm guessing suicide?

 

OH, also, I think you're missing one word in this sentence...

 

I woke up that today would be my last

Nice to see poetry coming from you, Crichon! Keep them coming!
