Not feeling so good today

Is there much else to say?

Don't want to push away

Don't want to end it all

But not feeling tall

Not taking any calls

Not feeling so good today

Like my hope went astray

Won't push you away

But not feeling so good

Not like I should

Thank you for reading!

    relatable and reassuring, hope you feel better soon

  • I'm so sorry you're having one of those days. It just sometimes happens. Sending you lots of good vibes, love and hugs Sir Paul. Hope you feel better soon ❤️

    Sorry you were feeling that way.., hope you might be feeling a bit better now. Hope will return. I too get so locked into this at times like why can’t my rational brain think my way out ya know. It obviously just takes time and positive distractions etc and/or just rest. You have also been working hard & likely have some mild burnout from your writing challenge that impacts things too. Hang in there Paul! 😊☀️

  • I feel ya, brother.

    Aw, hope you're feeling better, or will be soon. I like this one, though. It's got good sound to it, and I like how specific it is to the emotional state, not too extreme in its "bleh." "Don't want to push away Don't want to end it all But not feeling tall" I know how that feels. Not horrible compared to other states of mind/body, but it still sucks. So I hope it passes. 💗

    It's okay To have a bad day We won't go away. Not having a ball, It's ok to fall, We're here for you Paul. The sun hides it's rays On some darker days But reaching out pays. Don't get stuck on should, Just do what feels good.
