Motions

Its called just going through the motions There's no quick fix, no magic potions Day in, day out the goal is the same Head up, stay strong. My emotions. Tame Stress this, stress that. Wait, just breathe Stay busy, feel lazy. Stop thinking, just be I can. I can't. I won't. I will Tired, can't sleep. Frustrated. Just deal Defeated. Broken. I'm done. For the day Wake up, try again. Start a new, I say Fight harder, get stronger, two steps back Feelings, more feelings. I'm over this crap Walk tall, come on, enjoy a few laughs The future is bright just forget the past Woke with a smile. Heard a song, down I go Suck it up, no tears. Don't let it show I'm not going to do it. Nope. Not again Yep, I'm crying. Ok, just for a second. Or ten That's enough. Shake it off. Got things to do Life to live, people to love, no time to be blue Stick to the plan, I will get through This too shall pass, I know it to be true It's part of the process, it's only a phase Let the heart heal, don't count the days It's not a race, there's no trophy at the end Remind myself it gets better and until then Just hold tight, I know what to do Head up, stay strong. My emotions. Tame Day in, day out the goal is the same There's no quick fix, no magic potions It's called just going through the motions

Head up, stay strong. My emotions. Tame/ Day in, day out the goal is the same/ There's no quick fix, no magic potions/ It's called just going through the motions//// beautiful poem penned, last four lines are akin to first four lines thru rhyming...wonderful creativity
