Some Days Are Like This

There are days when I feel a heaviness, struggle to rise, go down low As if worn out, my mind bends itself twisted and I move real slow Even my shadow feels alone and forlorn in my abandoned shape Hiding my smile inside a crack because my heart is agape It might last a day or spiral down and around for three nights Someone's words must have hurt, some devils' little spites I force a walk along a wooded path or connect to the ocean shore Where I listen for kindness, a love from above, a truth that is more Then I bake some cookies, some sweet goodness to tickle my tummy I'll find my bruised heart starts to open like flowers when it's sunny Those days come, I know, so I let myself go with the sad flow It won't last long if I allow my inner nature to glow
