I try to take things one day
At a time
But sometimes
Multiple days hit me all at once
It’s like getting hit by a wave
Only to find our seven more
Are right behind it
The water seems endless
And searching for ground
Seems pointless
And the waves just keep coming
Sometimes you get to ride the waves
Other times,
The waves ride you
