Think About That Day
When you think about that day
When you just had no motivation
All your energy gone
Lacking concentration
You feel like a failure
And life will never be good
Maybe drinking more
Perhaps going off your food
Being so afraid
That you will never feel okay
That you’ll never get through this
This stupid ridiculous day
Think about that day
And multiple it by seven
Then multiply that by four
Your one single day is heaven
Compared to the months
That some of us endure
That some of us manage to wake up to
And drag our feet along the floor
We’re not lazy, pathetic, or stupid
Attention seekers or weird
We just want our bed
So we can drown out our fear
But sometimes that fear
Can keep us wide awake at night
Never mind your ghosts and ghouls
Only thoughts are enough to fright
You see the point
Is not to point at you
But to make you think that maybe
Just maybe
We could all make it through
If you could just see that ears are blind to words
And some words you hear taste bitter
There’s NOTHING you can’t do
If you change those words for the better
I can’t, “you can”
But I can’t, “you will,
You just need to get on with it”
And then comes the chill
That only comes when someone says
Just get on with it! Get it done!
But they don’t realise the difficulty, in so many ways
I can even begin to explain to you right now what I’m thinking or feeling or what I want to do
But I’m okay
Because society will just tell me, what I should do...
