Blue Beginnings Need Happy Endings Poem by Mark Heathcote

Blue miserable beginnings need happy endings
So, if your life has been just a hard struggle
You've gotta believe all those hexes
Are gonna end with a chuckle.
Hey you, hey you, you fickle heart
Don't you cry again?
Sun or winter, autumn or spring,
Life is your friend, so don't you frown.

Because all blue beginnings need a happy ending
Hey Life, you know that crimson velvet rose
Has a switchblade knife
It doesn't do anyone any good comprehending
What went wrong? Son, that's unwholesome
Just you find yourself another song.
And break that switchblade knife before it's irksome
Break it before it cuts your god damn, throat.
Break it before it cuts your god damn thumb, again.

Blue beginnings need some happy endings
So, if your life has been just a hard struggle
You've gotta believe that all those hexes
Is gonna end one day with a hefty hearty good chuckle.
You've gotta believe that one day all those hexes
Is gonna leave you and make that devil pay his dues.
Blue miserable beginnings with just as blue an ending…
Would be fine if your name is Satan,
But that's not for me and you, that's not our fate
Our fate is golden.
