<p>Days like these come
like tears on a string
Lone, all alone
one after the other</p>

<p>Days like these are
good, bad and worse
Found, and lost
one way or another</p>

<p>Days like these teach
all of us diff&#39;rent
Some pain; some
somethings to discover</p>

<p>Days like these I cannot
         see      me
hurt, all hurt
              help me</p>

<p>Days like these help
us breathe, breath deep
In, and out
Relax, think, recover</p>

<p>Med slike venner
er gjerne skrevet
dets mening er ofte
stikk imot</p>

<p>Men mine venner
er rette sorten
de hjelper villig
når alt er rot</p>

<p>En ensom lengsel
et barn på farten
viljen er der
de tar seg tid</p>

<p>Med slike venner
skal ingen lide
jeg håper jeg òg
har slikt å gi</p>

<p>I&#39;ve always felt like myself,
I fit in my body
I spend time outside my mind,
Because there isn&#39;t</p>

<p>I&#39;ve never felt like a girl,
I fit in my body
I can&#39;t define, and in my mind,
There isn&#39;t always</p>

<p>I feel like a boy, and
I fit in my body
Deep and shallow is my mind,
But there&#39;s still not</p>

<p>I am only me, and me alone,
I fit in my body,
I&#39;ve made up my mind,
There certainly is</p>

<p>Space inside my mind,
That you can be yourself,
My experiences define only;
Me — and there is space enough for you.</p>

<p>Thoughts are fleeting,
words are beating,
the day is heating,
boss say eyes on monitor.</p>

<p>Outside it&#39;s raining,
inside you&#39;re straining,
loudly complaining,
deadline&#39;s a cruel moniker.</p>

<p>The trees are bowing,
the river flowing,
darkness is growing,
hope is truly no more near.</p>

<p>Then weekend&#39;s here,
your friends appear,
the sky is clear,
and the clouds, like tears, disappear</p>

<p>If I&#39;d written a poem today,
With words not even my grandfather&#39;d say.
It still wouldn&#39;t put you off-kilter;
Blocked by a language filter.</p>

<p>You see the news, it&#39;s terrible, horrible.
It gives you the blues, it&#39;s terrible, horrible.
The racism hurts, it&#39;s terrible, horrible.
You yell and you curse; it&#39;s terrible, horrible.</p>

<p>But they don&#39;t attack you, it&#39;s still terrible.
They look just like you, it&#39;s horrible.
Bad words were thrown,
Almost unforgivable.</p>

<p>You think for yourself, this is terrible, horrible.
I admired them so! It&#39;s terrible, horrible.
But I couldn&#39;t do that, it&#39;s terrible, horrible!
You curse and you bay; it&#39;s terrible, horrible.</p>

<p>But deep down inside, you feel terrible.
Would you say; they&#39;re horrible.
Or avert you eye,
So unforgivable.</p>

<p>The doubt inside, so terrible.
Why do I feel this way, so horrible.
Could I be like them? So...
Terribly horrible.
Me?</p>

<p>When the hour is at lonely o’clock, and the world is quiet
When the last bus has left
In the shadows
A thought</p>

<p>When the lonely thought rolls through an empty mind
When dreary drowsiness threaten
Breathe in, and
Breathe out</p>

<p>When thoughts that tumble alone appear
When darkness brings despair
The best of today
Remember</p>

<p>Tomorrow will bring moments to turn around
Give them a chance and see
Smile from a stranger
Delight</p>

<p>A hat is nice, a hat is good,
when your hairline is receding.
It blocks the sun, it stops the rain;
keeps weather from impeding.</p>

<p>I got a hat, which is good;
my hair is now seceding.
It stops the burns, it keeps me dry,
it helps how I am feeling.</p>

<p>It fits me fine, it fits me well,
it sometimes makes me wonder.
Was it made for me, or I for it?
A man destined for a ceiling.</p>

<p>In the end, I do not care,
what other people are thinking.
I am the same; try to be fair,
like a witch
  with a hat
    full of sky.</p>
