SOMETIMES…
Sometimes it’s one of those weeks
Sometimes nothing goes right
Sometimes the world is against you
Sometimes you’re losing the fight
Sometimes the weather turns freezing
Sometimes your drive home gets dark
Sometimes each part of you aches
Sometimes you’re missing that spark
Sometimes your children are feral
Sometimes they leave you in bits
Sometimes you’re constantly shouting
When they take it in turns to be shits
Sometimes your job becomes manic
Sometimes you can’t see an end
Sometimes you crave time alone
Sometimes you can’t face your friends
Sometimes your house is a pigsty
Sometimes you just want to nap
Sometimes the kitchen gets ruined
And all that you cook turns out crap
Sometimes your hair looks appalling
Sometimes your suit starts to rip
Sometimes you plan something special
Then an airline fucks up your trip
Sometimes your car is plain filthy
Sometimes you scrub off the grime
Sometimes it rains shortly after
So the whole thing was a waste of time
Sometimes your car starts to smell bad
Sometimes you’re ashamed that it’s yours
Sometimes you buy an air freshener
But it smells like an old lady’s drawers
Sometimes your car hits a pothole
Sometimes you wish you’d got rid
Sometimes you need two new tyres
That cost over two hundred quid
Sometimes your headache lasts ages
Sometimes it hurts just to stand
Sometimes you sneeze while you’re driving
And you get it all over your hand.
Sometimes your football team hates you
Sometimes they’re especially bad
Sometimes you wish you could dump them
Because they make you so angry and sad
Sometimes you miss your grandparents
Sometimes you miss your old dog
Sometimes it helps to share feelings
(Well, there was bugger all else for this blog)
Sometimes you think no one’s reading
Sometimes the words will not flow
Sometimes you think about stopping
Because surely no one would know?
Sometimes everything’s rubbish
Sometimes you slump and ask ‘why?’
Sometimes it hurts just to think straight
When it’s all you can do not to cry…..
… But sometimes there are terrorists shooting
Sometimes an island’s destroyed
Sometimes there are massacres and hurricanes
That kill men, women, young girls and boys
Sometimes you need some perspective
Sometimes you need a deep breath
Sometimes life could be worse
When there’s hunger, starvation and death
Sometimes that trip is just money
Sometimes the car doesn’t matter
Sometimes your team may improve
Come what may, you’ll still be a Hatter
Sometimes the house can stay messy
Sometimes ‘fuck it’ is the best thing to say
Sometimes just look at your children
Be glad they’re healthy and happy each day
Sometimes when life gets you down
Sometimes when your outlook seems bleak
Sometimes just forget all life’s worries
Because one day, there’ll be no ‘next week’…
