The Blank Day

Today is no different than the others.
Held hostage by my own thoughts.
Every day is as uneventful as the others. 

‘But today will be different!’
‘Lets try harder today!’
As much as I need positivity, 
Nothing seems to work.
Keeping negative thoughts at bay is impossible.

‘Does anyone really care?’
‘Am I really letting my negative thoughts win?’
Yes, because today is no different than the others. 


Another poem my teacher had me write.
