On long days of feeling sadness
I dig deep to find my gladness
Events around me each day
Always try to block my way
Writing releases the anxiety inside
So I don’t run off and hide
From the kind of person I need to be
That will help others good to see
How I act today Can be my future keeper
Motivation for me to dig a little deeper
Pen to paper, words fly to the pages
Each sentence lifts me to better stages
One day I can throw my book away
The day when sadness Never stays
I feel no smile inside today
But I won’t let others steal my okay
All the negative words they spew
Won’t Turn my heart arctic blue
My heart screams smile, but instead
This frown I carry inside my head
I find a quiet place to stay calm
Until my smile finds healing balm
It is said it takes many muscles to create
a smile
somedays, the desire takes up too
many miles
On long days of overwhelming sadness
I will keep digging deep
to find my gladness
