day off

I'm taking the day off

from the job of being me

I've formed a union

and we all disagree

with the way I treat myself

disregarding mental health

ignoring insecurity

so I'm taking the day off

from the job of being me

I'm turning the phone off

and I won't return your calls

your texts are all unread

and I've got some alcohol

I'm leaving yesterday behind

I need time to unwind

to finally feel free

I'm taking the day off

from the mess inside of me

'

          no need to worry

          the worst thing I will do

          is eat up all the cheeze-its

          and watch endless you tube

I'll be back tomorrow

I just need a break

from all my worries

and mostly my mistakes

but for now I feel okay

drifting my life away

I once was blind, but now I see

I'm taking the day off

from the job of being me
