Song

I really wish I could compose a melody line for a song. But I can't. I can write lyrics. Here is the start of something. I really like the ideas I have, but it's not a stand alone poem. It would need music and major revising to be anything really good. For now, it's just a rough draft.

Father,
I tested positive today.
One night I drank too much,
That boy across the room
I thought he was the only one who cared.
And so I tested positive today.
It's not the way it's supposed to be,
It's just reality,
So I give it up to You.

Father,
I lost my hair today.
Blond curls on my pillow case,
I thought the doctors said this would help,
But I feel more pain.
And I lost my hair today.
It's not the way it's supposed to be,
It's just reality,
So I give it up to You.

Father,
My plans were crushed today.
Two years was not too long to wait,
I thought he would never leave me,
But I trusted in lies.
And my plans were crushed today.
It's not the way it's supposed to be,
It's just reality,
So I give it up to You.

Father,
I woke up today.
Went through my life like always,
But I thought before I choose a path,
For desires always have consequences.
So I woke up today.
This is how it's supposed to be,
This is reality,
I give it all up to You.
