When the sun came up this morning,
it was shining just for me.
I stood staring out the window
at the golden people on my golden street.
It's so pretty.
It's so fine.
It's so lovely.
I try not to mind.
Outside my door
everybody's waiting
just to tell me to have a nice day.
I keep smiling until it's painful
wishing I could wish them away.
It's so pretty.
It's so fine.
It's so lovely.
I try not to mind.
Everybody loves me.
I'm just a golden girl.
Everybody loves me.
I'm the only darkness in my beautiful world.
In my world,
every shadow's mine.
Every day is milk and honey,
and every step is a parade.
At night before sleep comes like a phantom,
I lie awake and count the friend's I've made.
It's so pretty.
It's so fine.
It's so lovely.
I try not to mind.
Everybody loves me.
I'm just a golden girl.
Everybody loves me.
I'm the only darkness in my beautiful world.
In my world,
every shadow's mine.

This is profoundly sad.
wow...I'm the only darkness in my beautiful world....this line says it all...sad.
i bet there are many that relate...probably more than they let on.
This is a song-poem to me... a sad sad song, and I feel every bar.
i am the only darkness in my beautiful world...
I feel it too hedgewitch, reminds me of someone so long ago.
for me there is a lot of loneliness in these lines..every shadow's mine... well played on the heart strings here..
I needed this poem today, thanks.
Also thanks for all the comments you leave on my blog, they are appreciated.
This scares me.
I hear Nora Jones singing this. sweetly sad.
Your refrain is very effective. Like these lines:
I'm the only darkness in my beautiful world.
In my world,
every shadow's mine.
Really interesting write, has a positive song quality to a pretty sad theme. Great job weaving these together, I feel like this myself sometimes. Thanks
Oh Zen I really understand this one. Great poem. I have read your poems and I think you have a deep deep understanding of all things different. You know you should be putting this in a book right? I own lots of poetry books by the greats and your poems would stand well against any of them. :)
