Today Was The Day Poem by Shaneka Taylor

Today was the day to fuss and fight
Sitting in my room out of sight
Don't want to talk no more
Turn the light off and close the door
Don't look at me
Just leave me alone let me be
Today was the day to laugh and play
But you decided to have it your way
How can I sit hear and take everything you say
It's just not me it's never that way
The smell of rose's white
Here to keep me through the night
Jump into bed
Nothing done nothing said
Try to do everything right
But nothing's done without a fight
Do this I say do that I say too
Don't worry about the others just worry about you
Tick Tock goes the clock on the wall
Not a sound said not a peep at all
Stay away from me
I don't want to be bothered can't you see
Stay here and clean up this mess
I'll be back when you've done your best
Don't come out till the sky is black
Leave now and never come back
For if you come back you will see
Not the good side but the bad side of me

Live free and run with the wild
No tears shed from the eye of the child! ! ! ! !
