I think I'd like to go to bed
And stay there for the day
Wallow in self pity
Have courtship with dismay
I think I'd like to drink it in...
The sorrow and the 'pain'
For every ounce of feeling this
I surely must make 'gain'
I shed a tear...from time to time
And that I can't deny
Just do me one small kindness...
Don't ever ask me why
I won't give in completely
I've never been that sort
When sadness threatens inner will
I build a stronger fort
So, please leave me now to grovel
As the blackness takes it's toll
It may nibble at the shell...
But it'll never take my soul!
