HAVING A BAD DAY

HAVING A BAD DAY

Me, having a bad day – I’ll try to explain

Crazy, mad thoughts, going ‘round in my brain

The tiniest thing, will bring me to tears

And then … I make mountains, out of my fears

Does anyone love me ? … Does anyone care ?

If I go outside … will others just stare ?

It’s ok to have your own pity-party, I guess

And some days, it’s fine, if you don’t even get dressed

I hate feeling this way, when I feel really bad

Feeling sad, makes me sad … feeling mad, makes me mad

On really bad days … I just cry and cry

Sometimes, there’s not even a good reason why

Being in lockdown, is taking its toll on me

And, it’s all, very different, to how I thought it would be

I never, before, really understood

Why people snapped … and now … I could !

I used to be happy, all of the time

Now I repeat … it’s fine ! it’s fine ! … IT’S FINE !

The new thing now is, “Stay Covid free – do the 3”

Hand-washing, distancing, the App – and we’ll see

It’s so sad to think, this is how we will live

In the future, we’ll look back, on the hugs we could give

When I need, to pull myself, out of this mood

I listen to happy music … and cook yummy food

Writing this down, expressing how I feel

Wishing sometimes, my heart, was made of steel

Fake it till you make it … act a happy part

And try, to bring joy to others … well, it’s a start

You are not alone, and, we WILL get through this

A smile on everyone’s face – THAT is my wish.
