Today is a down day
Today is a down day
Today is a day that
That’s been coming my way
I could blot it all out
I could wish it away
And say “Not today”
I could shimmy and sway
I could try and avoid
What the day has to say
And do anything
Just to keep it at bay
I could blame something else
Dive into my screen
I could make up a story
Be grumpy and mean
To the ones that I love
I could spread it around
I could pass the day on
Or just stop and sit down
And I could feel it
I could sit with it
Just get to know it
Watch it
and witness it
Then I could show it
That I’m not afraid
Of the things that it brings
Even if sometimes
The things it brings sting
To begin with
But soon I can see
That each day is a message
That’s written for me
And as long as I listen
Then I can let go
Which I know will help get me
Back into the flow
And allow me to grow
And to help me to see
The more that I listen
The more I can be
