On This Day

On this cloudy day

I follow the dreams I never had

And cherish the friends I never wanted

On this sunny day

I throw caution to the wind

Even when I can't feel a single breeze

On this rainy day

I pick out the flowers for my funeral

And drown the petals for my wedding

On this broiling day

I tan my throbbing brain

In the heat of the moment

On this chilly day

I dig a graveyard for myself

When I don't think I'm about to die

On this snowy day

I can't tell which hurts more

The loneliness or the swarm of strangers
