I fight to shake the crippling feeling of knots in my stomach,
most days I can do it with ease.
I’m alive and bright and everyone takes notice.
but today was one of those days,
I had succumbed to all of the day’s chaos and disarray,
sinking like an abandoned ship.
I am overwhelmed and agitated,
My face is hot and my heart pounds in a rage against my chest.
all I want is to get through the day.

the moment I finally have a chance to breathe,
I can’t help but to fall apart.
all of my anger had turned into tears,
today I felt defeated.
but it was just a bad day and I usually don’t let it consume me,
but sometimes it happens and the day can be so unforgiving.
