Some Days

Some days,
Life is stressful,
Everything that could go wrong does go wrong
Every thing you wish would never happen does happen
Everything is happening too quickly to calculate the outcomes
And you are left to pick up all the pieces
You are left to make everything better
On those days, what do you do?
Well on those days I stop, think and listen
I stop all the panicking, all the crying, and all the anger
All of the why me’s and the why nows
They stop
I think about what I can do, why this isn’t so bad
All of the possibilities and how to calm myself down
I think of the brighter side of things
I listen to the beat of my heart, my inner voice that guides me
Quietly listening to the calming soliloquy
Listening to words of wisdom
Some days,
Life is so stressful, so saddening
But those days are not all days
Thankfully, nowadays,
Those days are few
Those days are far in the distance
Something to learn from
To look back on with the wisdom of having been through them
Mistakes not to be made again
Those days,
Days of sadness and stress
Days of frustrations and anxious thoughts
Those days are fewer and decreasing
Those days are but memories of a past that can teach
But is not to be dwelt on
Some days,
Life can be everything you don’t want it to be
But eventually
The sun shines
The rainbows form
The clouds disappear
The newness of life is felt
And life is worth living again…
