'Plummet' - 100 Day Poetry Contest Day 82
Welcome... To a 100 day journey into the poetic minds of the @steemitschool writing community!
Was feeling low all day today. Couldn't really shake it, which only happens very rarely... but a reminder to me that life is about the full spectrum of emotion, and though I'd love to think we can be on a total high hype all the time without any of the other end of the scale - it's just not the way things are.
So I accept today and give gratitude for it the same as all my other amazing days where I feel incredible - it's still a blessing, still a part of the journey, and of the beauty.
Thank you for the dark days and the light days.
With Love

Plummet
Days don’t always bring an abundance of joy and happiness...
Sometimes the road gets rough.
Tough luck.
Hard times.
Why try?
Deny the undeniable.
It’s just the way life is...
It’s ups and downs,
It’s not a continual climb.
Ever-higher...
The sites that you see -
You may not always admire,
In fact -
As it transpires,
At times you’ll want to hide,
Try to ignore what’s happening inside,
Cover your true feelings for the sake of your pride.
Never let others see.
Or make it overly obvious.
Bottling emotions that are sure to erupt.
Volcanos will flow and lava will blow,
If you try to keep the valve shut.
Acceptance is the key.
It creates other possibilities.
Trying to fight with all your might will be a mighty struggle.
These days may be dark,
But you're still fueled by light.
Just accept it.
Embrace it.
Think of what you could be grateful for
A quick change of focus and
You’ll suffer no more.
Thanks always for reading.
With Love

Great poem, your awesome keep your head up after the rain always comes the sun!
We can not possibly be happy all the time, we have so many other emotions that we need to express and some of them are such great fuel to make us really reflect and slow down and observe ad from there move forward in a more balanced way. Beautiful poem, it is my weekly find for sure and worthy of a resteem xx
