The Very No Good Bad Day




I woke up today on the wrong side of the bed,

I’m irritable, antsy, hanging on by a thread.


I tried a new recipe and it didn’t turn out,

I just want to throw in the towel, scream and shout.


My patience for my kids is starting to wilt…

And soon I’m sure I’ll feel the dreaded mom guilt.


I picked a fight with my husband, what was it about?

I’m not even sure but I just want to pout.


I skipped my workout so I beat myself up.

My motivation feels as empty as my cup.


I hate my body, my hair won’t abide.

Everyone is getting a glimpse of my worst side.

Why can’t it just be tomorrow already?

I want to be my usual self, confident and steady.


These days are so tough, they wear you down.

I usually feel technicolor but today I feel brown.


It’s just a bad day, there will be others I’m sure…

But the good ones outshine them – they are the cure.


Today gets harder with each second that passes.

Oh well, tomorrow I’ll dust off my rose-colored glasses.
