Not Today (I'm Tired) Sometimes I'm just tired for no apparent reason It may be the weather or just the season I try to muster all of the energy I dare But, it just can't be found, no matter where I dig or look to see if there's more I'm simply unable to get my feet to the floor So, this I say to myself, "self, I think that I might stay Right here where I'm at, at least for today" Nothing gets done and all that I try is in vain Just to go to the bathroom today is a strain Energy and effort I try to put forth But, today I'm no good and little am I worth Little or nothing for whatever I try I think I'll lie here and ask myself why Does it all need to be done right away After all, tomorrow will be a new day Maybe by then I'll feel better, and get it all done Or maybe tomorrow I'll just lie in the sun And once more say, "Perhaps tomorrow I''ll perform But, for today I'm tired, worthless and worn" |
