re: a bad day

Drink the round
its been a hard day
take the edge off
get misery out of the way

Once secure in friendly settings
let go of the mean trappings
let yourself come forth
be it for better or worse

so it has been a hard night
we are all there from time to time
take your shoes off, get your load on
no presumptions made here on

get back to the truth
or at least what it means to you
there are enough troubles ahead
but tonight enjoy yourself before its time for bed
