Assumption
Every morning when my eyes open
There's a picture of the day in front
The faces I see and words spoken
I'm the prey my every move hunts
Life is an assumption of a whole lot
It holds so much, it's not that short
What I assume may stab me through
What I assume can get me through
A craving, a longing is all it takes
To believe in the day's impossible
Passion drives the moves I make
Caution keeps me out of trouble
I lie low when the mood's not right
Of the million characters in this play
Shifting about in silent fights
The best I can do is stay away
Life's like that, not my belief
Its darker shades I don't bait
Thoughts bring joy, also grief
But the fearless mind still relates
An elusive happiness is manifest
My guesswork, if it's good enough
My psyche takes on a real quest
I assume, but never on a bluff
All my power goes into it
I dodge a shower of despair
I presume and assume, then I get it
What hit me is what lets me repair
