"Fell On Black Days"
Whatsoever Ive feared has come to life Whatsoever Ive fought off became my life Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile Sunspots have faded And now Im doing time Cause I fell on black days
Whomsoever Ive cured Ive sickened now Whomsoever Ive cradled Ive put you down Im a search light soul they say But I cant see it in the night Im only faking when I get it right Cause I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine So dont you lock up something that you wanted to see fly Hands are for shaking No, not tying No, not tying
I sure dont mind a change But I fell on black days How would I know That this could be my fate

But eloquent.
Thank you!

2. It might be better as a song than a poem. |

But this grunge classic found me on the radio during a very bad time the other day and brought back memories.

3. Wrote this when I was stoned, more than 30 years ago: |

Brain cells. A head that swells. Too much confusion to escape this illusion.
The fog is too dense. It Doesn't make sense. I have no clear view. Don't know what to do.
So inside I go to that place we all know that has no time or space where I live and I feel the things that aren't real and pass ... without leaving a trace.
What should I do? Will you give me a clue? We all need to pull together. Will you lend me a hand and help me to stand right now, tomorrow, or ever?

5. Has that ever been put to music? |
|
It sounds like it's a song. I can almost hear the music. It's not quite The Blues, but the influence is there. :)
