On the days you don't want to get out of bed...

On the days you don't want to get out of bed,
on the days you don't want anything said,
on the days you do things you have to,
rather than the ones you want to do,
the days you segregate into uncomfortable event,
marking off the checklist as you circumvent,
nervously anticipating the next mess,
as the drama unfolds on the canvas,
on those days if you can find your smile,
let your spirit be untouched by this world vile,
if you can find the strength to be kind,
if you can stop playing the nightmares on rewind,
if you can show the people the mercy they never gave you,
if you can forgive the atrocities and bid an affable adieu,
on those days, my friend, on such days,
on such cumbersome ways,
pat yourself on the back, and stand tall with your sutures,
cause you are truly a formidable force of nature!!!
