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
