Drowning Without Water
December 10, 2020
Sometimes life feels like a bubble bath
You get in and the waters warm
The candles are lit and you feel at peace
And then the candles go out
And you unplug the drain
And all the happiness goes away
Soon the tub is empty, no water
But you still feel like your drowning
And you just sit there
Damp, cold, and sad.
And you face the fact that life will never only come with happiness

I wrote this during a rough time throughout my life and reflecting back on it I have come to realization that although my statements are correct, life will never be only sunshine and rainbows. BUT just because that may be true doesnt mean we should reject and push away all the positivity that stumbles upon us.
