without having a bad day
You feel like a soldier, marching on forward,
Like you’ve found your way
Then suddenly out of nowhere
The unwelcome thoughts start creeping in
Making you feel like you want to give in
Giving in would be easy because
you wouldn’t have to fight
But deep in your heart,
You know those thoughts aren’t right
There’s so many storms you’ve battled to get here
One hundred times or more, you’ve already fought through these fears
You have to reflect on why you chose to make this change
Years from now, you don’t want to be on the same page
So take the unwelcome thoughts and turn them around
Focus on your positive days
and many more will soon be found
This poem is so beautiful, and it so accurately captures the important mindset to refocus into on those really hard days. Thank you for writing such a wonderful poem!
