effigy

i'm on my way from misery to happiness today

iii.

and yes, i know
of course i know that this is just a phase
and yes, i hope
of course i hope to see it turned to praise
i know my view
is all out of proportion
i'm sure it's skewed
by all of these emotions
but everyday
the traffic lights are yellow
and i can't wave
can't even mutter hello
i broke my train of thought
and can't take what i got
where is the morning, Lord?
still sitting on top of the world?
