Day: July 12, 2022

Nothing is shining today
I think you’ll see it my way
We have all had those days
Nothing seems okay
Everything is moving slowly
No matter how hard you try
Only a step away from depression
You want to sit down and cry
You don’t look at everything coldly
It is just that you don’t look boldly
You want to find a place to hide
Something you have often tried
You look for a place that’s dark
Curl up like a ball and park
You fall asleep for a while
In your dreams you smile
You think about that long ride
When out of this world you’ll glide
A noise brings you about
I’m feeling better you shout
You move very slowly
Like waves on a windless day
I’ve got to pick up my pace
I know it’s not a race
But people depend on me
And they don’t often see
Me in this downward state
So I find my slate
Wipe it clean for my sake
I’ll start all over for today
Work hard, find time to play
The sun will come as it will
It’s like my vitamin pill
It energizes me and then
Allows self-admonishment
I review, take it all in
Realize it is not the end
Just a bad day to begin
Turned it around within
I would call that self-growth
It adds to my esteem
