Rough Days
I’m sorry I’ve been coiled up for too long
Until today when I’ve found myself deep in a sadness
I reminded myself to be gentle
That’s all we really can do
To be considerate to our peace
Knowing that taking a break isn’t weakness
That if we are to survive the harshness of life
And of the world
We must allow ourselves the space to breath
A moment to still our jumpy minds
Finding ourselves again
