Feeling down this Holiday Season
Every now and then I'll have moments of reprieve but not long for many reasons
Losing interest is what usually happens instead of joy
This feeling isn't gender specific to a girl or boy
Emotions like this can hit you without a moments notice and without warning
Some people are too lax about the idea thinking it's 'just a phase' or 'try harder and you'll make it go away' in truth that mindset can do a lot of harming
This emotion doesn't happen to everyone and they may not understand what you're going through
Even if you explain it hundreds of times, people may not generally know how to think or what to do
Honestly, each person is different and has different ways of coping with each day
Some may wish to be left alone, others need someone to lean on, and sometimes they just don't know a way
It doesn't mean you give up on the person
They may already be in a dark place, and the last thing they need to feel is they're a burden
Emotions are not meant to be swept under and rug and forgotten
Yes it's challenging but people that are insensitive about people's struggles are not making this light as cotton
Not everyone has patience or willingness to accept what they can't handle
But what they don't understand is this whirlwind of emotion, it's apart of some of us.... We didn't ask for this or can easily beat it away with a switch or sandle
Many may need help but that doesn't mean a few of us aren't trying out best
We don't mean to 'ruin' others time with the pain we're going through even if we aren't filled with happy zest
No matter what, we're all people just trying to get by and for some people, the struggle is real
Please have compassion because we all feel
