I tried to go a day without spending money 
But the baby needed diapers and the coffee needed cream
I tried to go a day without sugar
But the toast needed jam
I tried to go a day without swearing
But that jerk cut me off
I tried to go a day without being tired
But the baby cried all night
I tried to go a day without watching t.v
But the playoff game was on
I tried to go a day without feeling fat
But didn't feel like exercising
I tried to go a day without smoking
But my parents are stressing me out
I tried to go a day without feeling down 
But that bill arrived early
But none of that mattered
Because today I listened to music
I can listen to it on the radio for free
It does not cause diabetes
It can curse for me
It either helps me fall asleep or wakes me up
I can watch the videos because that's an expression of art ( so I don't feel guilty )
If you dance you are exercising
It gets rid of stress and makes you happy
Unless it is a sad song that makes you cry
But in a good way

Love,

m.
