Dirty

I walked through mud
While above it was sunny and bright
Disgusted by my soiled shoes
I looked up to avoid the sight

Ignoring the situation
I stepped in multiple puddles
Less aware of my issues
But more covered in my troubles

Maybe ignoring feelings
When negativity hits
Isn't the best strategy
For dealing with my 

I can talk myself out of a mood
But sometimes I just want to complain
Feel sorry for myself
And dwell in my own pain

I can't work out my problems
By denying that they exist
And I do find motivation
Sometimes when I get pissed

So while I'm shuffling through the mess
I won't let the sun divert me
Positive vibes are great
But right now I'm feeling dirty
