»Some days«

by Louise Isaac, June 19, 2022

Some days I don’t like my reflection,
or the colour of my hair,
I don’t like what the scales say
and I can’t find anything to wear.
Some days I get too quiet
and no words will leave my mouth.
When my world feels like it’s ending
and my life is going south.
When days feel like their dragging
and the light is far away,
It may seem like I’m nagging
but I’m lost on what to say.
Yes these days bring you down
but don’t let them keep you there.
You have more worth than you realise
and people that truly care.
Through the dark I see how blessed I am
for the ones that are there for me,
because I know that these days without them...
my happiness I would not see.
A little bit of quiet and time to analyse,
I see what’s right in front of me
and I shouldn’t be surprised.
This year has brought me love
which forever makes me grateful,
but it’s also brought me sorrow
and for that it makes me hateful.
I can be both and that’s ok
because life is all about balance,
so I’ll take the good with all the bad.....
more so as it’s a challenge.

One year ago / 365 days / My suit is ready, / Your on your way. / / You pull up I break down, / Earth swallow me whole. / In my tears I could drown, / Coz This really ain’t cool. / / To the crem I follow, / My heart is broken. / Sad, Empty and hollow, / My fears have woken. / / But your coffin I carried,  sign in to read more »

»I sat at your bedside.«

I sat at your bedside, / my heart was crushed and sore, / but I did my duty to thee end, / til I could do no more. / Holding back tears I watched you sinking, watching you fade away. / And although my / heart was breaking, / I knew you could not stay. / You left behind some aching hearts that  sign in to read more »
