IT IS OKAY NOT TO FEEL OKAY

To wake up and stay in the bed

For no reason, filled with dread

Guilt and fear, crawl your skin

With loathing, You burn within

Hating work and calling in sick

Feeling burdened with every blink

The advent of an enemy with no face

Seems like the start of your fall from grace

Anxiety and panic, makes you tremble

Life as you know it, with its duties, crumble

Embrace yourself with compassion

And look for ways that you can refashion

Forget not, there is always hope

To escape this downward slope

And remember to turn on love’s light

While the soul crosses its dark night.
