Day After Day

Disclaimer: This poem is based on the Suite Life, from Zack's POV. Thus, I don't own the Suite Life, but I do own the poem.

A/N: This poem is also based on my Suite Life fanfic, Unloved. If you read the story you'll better understand the poem, even though the story isn't quite completed.

A/N2: I did have the poem in stanzas, but that went away when I got it on the site. Well, it was going to be a song, but...

I never knew it'd feel like this,

Being all alone

Never getting to pick up the phone

Nobody caring, nobody helping

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

I tried to face my fears,

Tried not to shed any tears;

But no matter how hard I tried,

I always started to cry

But I never knew what it'd really mean

Never knew what my brother had really seen

He knew I'd go bad,

And a part of me said to do it for him

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

Then he died, died at my hand

It wasn't supposed to happen,

But he left me all alone,

Never gave me the chance to pick up a ringing phone

Years before, Mom had gone

And it was then that things went wrong

I rarely again sang a song,

Never again did he and I have the same bond

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

Then there was the love of my life,

The reason I went through a lot of strife

But I failed, I failed in catchin' her eye

And we broke apart, no longer even friends

That was the end

The end of everything

No longer could I sing

No longer could I feel loved

They left me, ever single one

I was alone, left all alone

With a silent phone

And no matter what I did

Nothing would ever be the same

It was the end of everything I ever knew

Left alone, not wanted

Just a burden to the world

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

Black eyes, many scars

They remind me of the days

That I spent on the run or behind bars

The ones in a gang

The days that I no longer sang

My tune dropped 'til it was there no more

And I had lost my very core

I had friends now, just a gang

But what did it matter?

In that rearview mirror

I see my greatest fear

I see my past, trying to make me who I was

Once more

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

My past has shaped me,

It's made me see

All those days,

They weren't for nothin'

I learned, I changed

My tune got higher,

'Til I was on fire

No one could stop me, I knew who I was

And day after day

I look back at where I've been

Look at where I'm at,

Look at where I'm goin'

And it doesn't look too bad

A/N3(Man, do I have a lot of these)The song in the above piece of writing is referring to something else. Maybe you can figure out what it is.
