tired of the
same old ways,
i try to
kick it back—
explain:
sometimes the
world is cold.
you didn’t ask
for this,
but it’s
always been
this way.
you had everything—
then lost it
the next day.
you take a step
back,
look up
to the sky,
watching blue
turn gray
without a reason why.
melancholy sunshine,
rays of light
fading away,
like the soft
hues
of yesterday.
you hate this—
and yeah,
i know
it’s cruel.
but stick around
for a few,
it gets better—
and it’s okay
if it’s not
your day.
for all that
it's worth:
i love you,
anyway.
inspired by Stand Atlantic’s “Love U Anyway” — this poem speaks to anyone feeling like they’re unraveling inside. sometimes all we need is someone to stay, even on the bad days. especially then.
