Restart the Day

Staring at a blank page
Trying to think of what I want to say
There’s so much going on in my head
I’m partly thinking of going back to bed
This’s and that’s and little mistakes
All of them eating me all the wrong way
It’s funny how something you read
Can start your day off with a little dread
I’ll push through. I’ll let it go
Because if I don’t, it’s my own harm I sow
Yet, at the blank page
Trying to think of what to say
Thoughts come at you with a knife
You just want to complain with strife
But complaints do nothing but sour the ear
They build up distrust and fill you with fear
So let it go, leave it on the page
And be ready to start a brand new age
Force a smile, if you must, until it sinks in
Then restart the day again
Hold tight to faith, hope, and love
And onto to peace like a dove
No matter what the world sends our way
I’ve only got one thing to say
Keep pressing on with a steady gait
And remember that you’re doing great
