I have to say I'm a bit disappointed no one said anything about my last post...I was really excited to write it...but you can't win them all right?? Well, here is to hoping this one gets some better feedback. I've been asked to share some of my poetry and so here it is. This is a song I wrote today...it is very different from the kind of poetry I usually write. I hope you all like it.
Bad Case of the Mondays
7:30 Alarm is screaming
I hit the shower too tired to sing and
All I want to do is crawl back in bed.
Get in my car, traffic is crazy
Man I wish you were here with me baby
I can’t help think of the words you never said.
I’ve got a bad bad bad bad bad case of the Mondays.
And it’s too sad that I can’t wait for weekends and fun days.
But no matter what I do (I do)
I know somehow I’ll get through (get through)
This bad bad bad bad bad case of the Mondays.
When I pull in no spaces are empty
That handicapped spot sure is tempting
There’s no way I can make it in on time.
This dog gone day is a long one
I can’t wait to go home when the day is done.
Get a chance to relax my body and mind.
I’ve got a bad bad bad bad bad case of the Mondays.
And it’s too sad that I can’t wait for weekends and fun days.
But no matter what I do (I do)
I know somehow I’ll get through (get through)
This bad bad bad bad bad case of the Mondays.
Get in bed when the day is finished
My despite of this day has diminished
I melt back into you arms again.
As I drift off into dreamland
I look down and see your hand in my head
And now this bad bad bad bad bad case of the Mondays
Its not as bad as I first thought when I woke up this morning.
And I know that the thing that helped me through
Is knowing I get to come home to you
You made my bad day turn into a rad day on this Monday.

Pretty Good Stuff. I can't help wonder what music was going on in your head when you wrote it. I love you kid. You are my favorite... daughter.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Who is going to write the music for it? Me? You know I'm awesome at that kind of stuff. WINK!
ReplyDeleteMattie, please don't be disappointed when nobody responds to your blogs. First, it doesn't mean that nobody read it...it may just mean they didn't know what to say. Second, write it for your own enjoyment & don't depend on others' feedback. Sure, it's nice to get it, just don't depend on it.
Back to your song. I really really do like it! Thank you for daring to expose your feelings.
I'm impressed, Mattie. You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself - a gift with words! Wendy Wall Blancett (I went to Tulakes Baptist with your parents. And I am Emmalee's mom, who went to Falls Creek with you with First Baptist, Bethany, several years ago.)
