The Fog

The fog that's outside

Matches the one in my head

I felt it as soon

As I jumped out of bed

The swirling, the whirling

No sound, little sight

It's much worse than normal

It gave me a fright

I blinked my eyes thrice

To clear it away

Not now please I beg you

I've one hell of a day

While it lingers outdoors

No urge to depart

I search my own feelings

My mind and my heart

To find out the reason

I'm so thick and so cloudy

It's not like I partied

Or was drunk or too rowdy

But no truth is forthcoming

I've no reason to see

Why I'm stuck in this mist

I just want to be me

I wish I could wish it

Just wish it away

And it be oh that simple

For that I would pray

But I know that it's with me

And for now it's to stay

Till I face up and front up

To what I've hididen away

Turn this way, turn that

Indecision's still there

And I can't turn away, no

Pretending not to care

And as breeze shifts it slowly

From out of my view

I know the right thing

Things that I must do

Take a stand, make a choice
Bring an end to the night

Suspend all the doubts

Walk straight in to the light

For it's all there within me

And that's nothing new

So take a deep breath now

And just believe in, you
