Two kinds of days..

Some days I feel like I am floundering helplessly

Like a fish that has been taken out of the sea

Through life’s turbulent motions, I cannot seem to find

A firm footing for my discombobulated mind

I struggle and writhe until I realize

The futility of my enterprise-

Then I sit back and let life take its course

I resign myself to a more powerful force

*

Then there are days when I seem to rise and shine

My confidence is high, everything falls in line

For me to cruise smoothly through the day

I encounter no roadblocks along the way

I am grateful for days that proceed such

There is nothing else that I need much…

*

There are days of victory and days of defeat-

Days where I feel like I have two left feet

In the grand scheme of things, the two

Are almost equally spread out too

I celebrate the wins, (hopefully) learn from bad days

And try to feel productive both ways!
