Careless Pisces
The sun is starting to rise
A new morning is coming upon us
The moon is slowly leaving sight
And the cardinals start to sing
The lake is very still
Not a wave breaks the surface
You start to think about the day ahead
What great things it holds for you
How great it will be
When you get home to your lover
How amazing her smile will be
When you return to her
True to your words, true to your heart
You can only imagine that great hug
Only begin to fathom
How awesome you will feel
The day has nothing but bright lights
Filling your eyes, your hopes
And most of all, your expectations
Then you think about work
How the brutal sun will reign on you
How every muscle in your body
Will ache like it's on fire
And about all your responsibilities
That make the day long and tedious
Suddenly the day is looking miserable
All your pessimism takes over your mind
You don't see one good thing on the horizon
You think about how you might fight
With you lover like a million times before
How they might not love you anymore
How your few hors apart
Might cause a permanent separation
You see all that was once sacred
Is in total and complete jeopardy
So cautiously and begrudgingly
You go on through your day
Never once realizing who your enemy is
It's not your work nor you lover
It's you, the seditious, careless Pisces
You are your own worst enemy
Because it is your own mind
That clouds the differences
Between realities in your life
You will return to love her that night
And she will still love you
But despite that, you live in fear
Like you always will
