Just...having one of those days.

Susan*

I'm so tired down to my bones
Alas! daily the show goes on
There are times when like these
I want to sink down to my knees
Cover up with a worn old blanket
Curse my lot but instead thank it
For making me a stronger gal
Instead of frowning I choose to smile
Life for me is a challenge
One where guts are always welcomed
For today I'm the child
Scared and spent and whining whines
Please forgive my melancholy
I promise to become more jolly
Give me a minute to gather ME
The other half is OFF you see.
