Sometimes it is hard for me to be inspirational. Sometimes it is hard to be happy. Sometimes I'm down in the dumps as I'm sure you have all experienced at one point in your life or another. But that's ok. It is ok to embrace the blah. It is ok to embrace the dark. As long as you realize that you are strong enough to get through it. And you will get through it. And if you feel like you can't, email me, facebook me, tweet me. Because most often, all we need is a friend.
This is a poem I wrote when I was feeling particularly lost and lonely. If you resonate with the poem at all, please share it or leave a comment. After all, we are in this together.
Blue Monday
“A wretched soul, bruised with adversity, we bid be quiet when we hear it cry…” –William Shakespeare–
I slid down the wall
into the abyss of the familiar
as sobs rocked my body
and my soul
Tears shed for every love lost
every disappointment
and every time I walked away
when I should have stood my ground
I sat on the floor,
another brick shoved
into a wall I thought was done
But maybe I was wrong
and maybe the mountain is needed
In a world that expects
me to open my heart
When I am nothing but numb
I wipe away the stains
Of a Monday's misery
And smile at the girl in the mirror
Who needs a friend…
