Words of Art – Day 62 – Lost Days

Lost Days

I gave up another sunny day
Today and sat in a dark theater
Watching fake sunlight being put 
Onto a painted sky.
I can’t begin to count the 
Number of days in my life
That I have spent in the dark,
While the sun shined bright outside.

I often ask myself if those
Lost days were worth it,
And I always answer myself
With a huge smile on my face
By saying, “Damn right it was,
Every minute of every lost day.”

Fade to Black….
House/Preset up.
