There are days when the sky is a vibrant blue and the sun expels its warmth
upon my shoulders,
then there are days when the sky is filled
with nothing but a melancholy grey,
and I embody nothing but the rain.
On those days,
I may have to drink an extra cup of coffee to pull myself out of bed and face the slight suffocation the real world places upon me.
On those days,
I may not have much of an appetite and will push away any thought of food, even though I know I should eat.
On those days,
my eyes may become heavy, filled with just as much water as the storm clouds lingering up above me.
Some days I wake up
feeling as radiant as the sun,
and some days I wake up feeling as
dreary as the rain.
But at least I always make sure to
wake up and be something.
