I can't write today
I struggle for words to find
I can't think today 
nothing comes to my mind

I can't smile today
no matter how much I try
I can't laugh today
if I did it would be a lie 

I can't face today
there is no reason why
I feel sad today
all I want to do is cry

But then

I wrote this little poem
a few words I found to say 
It made me think a bit
a few thoughts came my way

I wrote this little poem
it put a smile on my face
I may not be laughing
but I am in a happier place

Writing this little poem
cheered up my dreary day
Verdict, a poem a day 
helps keep the gloom away
