Sometimes It's Hard

Sometimes days are bad.
Food has no taste.
Everything seems gray.
The volume on the world is turned down.

Sometimes you'll feel like a prisoner in your own body.
An inner storm straining to burst out.
Frustration and anger and apathy.
Trapped by physical constraints.

What do you do?
You can crawl in your bed and lie awake
or you can go out and face the day.
Do all the things you normally do.
Smile when you feel no desire to.
Make conversation that seems pointless.
Eat something regardless of your appetite.
Go through the motions.

Get through the day.
Then it's over.
Go to bed, lay your head on your pillow, and close your eyes on that day.
Banish it.

Tomorrow is new and fresh and has endless potential.

Day 88
