I am trying not to cry.
But it is hard to hold back
I don’t understand what went wrong
How can I make amends
This hurts, and it’s not my pride, you see
I put out the best work I can
And it’s never good enough to see
I put up a brave face
I smile, I joke, and I even tease
Even the strongest man
Will crumble at the knees
Maybe it’s just the day
Maybe it’s just the wrong time
Too many maybe’s rolling in my mind
I went dark to see if you can see my light
I am light, and still, I cannot take flight
I will be fine; there is another day
WTF is happening?
Why do I feel this way?

Fia!!, I thought Wednesday was your bad day? Never said anything about Thursday. (just kidding) The pain is obvious in the write. Positive thoughts, always move forward. Don't look back.

My newest one reflects a bit of the same feelings. Life is a set of hills and valleys. Life goes on.

There are seven days a week… there is always that one day that doesn’t fit with the rest… it’s that day

I feel this one, Fia. We all have those kinda days. I've put up work before that I thought was my best, and I got crickets. Sometimes I put up something I feel is decent, and it explodes. It's just the nature of the beast. Great write. Appreciate you.

We all have days like this. I tell myself "this too shall pass" but it's of little help when you're in a dark place.
