Today Is A Time To Remember
Why Now?
I wake up early and look out across the turbulent sky
The trees bare except for their lightly covered snowy branches
My feelings are full of bitterness and anger
I hear of many storms across in different states
Waking up abruptly from a deep sleep
Listening to a t.v. program of two people arguing
I don't know where these feelings come from
I was not raised to think this way
A sudden dissatisfaction has settled beneath my skin
I pick apart my emotions
Toying with me as if I was the hard wooded block to be tossed around
To be placed anywhere at anytime
In the past, I was one part of many pieces
Played with over and over again
For hours of endless fun
You always thought of me as your favorite toy
Now carelessly tossed on its side
Each emotion I come to discover
Has not been in hiding for long
It has come from a place
I do not recommend
I don't deserve this treatment or bad attitude
I will find a way
To knock and sharply tap
This feeling of displeasure
Followed by a moment of silence
I reach forward
For everything I have worked for
Covers me like a warm blanket laying across my shoulders and drooping down my side
This will bring me to calm my outer body and find my inner strength
Not to look not into this dismal day
Giving way to a new set of vibrant, colorful, pleasant emotions
That soon overcome my earlier fears
Clearing up any disturbance and turbulence
Like a bad airplane flight
Only to hear those beautiful words once again
We will be landing very shortly
The weather is 83 degrees and sunny
Wishing you all a lovely day and a wonderful stay
Please come back to us in the future
To make your day
A little better than when you started
