Better Days

Sitting in bed and feeling not so great

I pick up my notepad to try to write

It’s not going so well

Then okay, let’s do some gratefulness exercises

I guess it’s supposed to make you feel better.
   

But today, I’m just not feeling it

I feel like sitting still, and crying for hours

But I don’t, cause I’m better than that

I remind myself that it could be worse

I remind myself that it’s not the end of the world

There’s hope, there’s life. 
  

I focus on love. God’s love.

And I start to feel a bit better 

Moves my attention away from the things that hurt

Causes a knowing 

That there’s someone else in the room

Comforting, helping, telling me it’s going to be alright. 
  

There’ll be better days

Brighter days

Lighter days 

Yes, I believe 

I choose to.
