Some Days

Some days are going to suck
Some weeks are awful too
Sometimes the pain is great
Sometimes the thoughts are blue
Sometimes it feels like all too much
Like you’ll never make it out
You’re filled with thoughts of suffering
Consumed by pain and doubt
How dare the new day dawn
How dare others smile and chuckle
How dare the sun rise up
When your knees just yearn to buckle
But if you hold on tight
If you can just make it through
You might just see the light
You might just learn the truth
That you are full of strength
You can weather all things grim
You can smile in the sunshine
You can boogie on a whim
You can find life in the darkness
You can gaze upon the stars
You can smell the blooming lilacs
You can race the fastest cars
You can find what makes you happy
What makes the pain abate
You can hold on to those feelings
And claim your happy state
The pain is not eternal
Sometimes it ebbs and flows
Claw your way back from the brink
And bathe in life’s rainbows.
