I know things will get better and I will be just fine,

I wake up in the morning and I long to see a sign,

A sign that things are changing, that joy is on it's way,

I know i'll be alright......just maybe not today.

 

I know around the corner there is so much in store,

I tell myself constantly to shut that painful door,

Shut out all the feelings of sadness and despair,

I tell myself that one day those feelings won't be there.

 

I know it is destructive to listen to my thoughts,

Sometimes they're good but mostly they are not,

Destroy the voice inside that says to self-destruct,

Listen to the one that says "please do not give up"

 

I know it's so irrational and doesn't make much sense,

I wish I knew what to do to come to my defence,

It feels like I've no choice in the damage I can do,

The choice always lies with me so that cannot be true.

 

I know my life is scary for uncertainty lives on,

I just need reassurance that these feelings will be gone,

I need to face the morning believing when I say,

"Things will be alright.....just maybe not today"
