Today was the absolute worst day ever And don't try to convince me that There's something good in every day Because, when you take a closer look, This world is a pretty evil place.

And it's not true that It's all in the mind and heart Because True happiness can be attained Only if one's surroundings are good. It's not true that good exists I'm sure you can agree that The reality Creates My attitude It's all beyond my control And you'll never in a million years hear me say that Today was a very good day.
Now read it from bottom to top."
