A Normal Day



Upon a normal day it seemed all things
Were just the same as they had always been
The sun that to the world all life brings
Made no sign of threat to fall from the sky.

You would not tell that I could fall apart
And land inside the belly of my fears
Where they have made a meal of my heart
I'm crushed beneath the things I'm forced to know.

And though you may chance by the place I fell
It's best to keep the rhythm of your walk
No need for other people in my hell-
Go on beneath the sun's bright pretty dress.

And should it be that I cannot emerge
From that which has me trapped of my own craft
Do not expect to hear some woeful dirge
On the normal day that this has always been. 1
