I'm Gonna Try
Janel J. Tutak, February 2, 2005
I woke up this morning,
Nothing too exciting
Nothing much is going on today
Except I’m gonna live.
It’s like my head is spinning
Spinning round and round
My feet are running ahead of me
And I can’t see the ground
Nothing can go my way
But I’m gonna try today
I’m getting ready to go,
Nothing seems to fit
Nothing looks right on me today
Except my ready smile.
I’m rushing out the door
And tripping on the floor
But I’m not going cry
I’m gonna try
It’s like my head is spinning
Spinning round and round
My feet are running ahead of me
And I can’t see the ground
Nothing can go my way
But I’m gonna try today
I feel all my problems,
Fighting to bug me
Fighting to ruin my life today
Except I won’t let them.
Although my head is spinning
Spinning spinning spinning
Spinning round and round
And my feet are running ahead of me
I can’t, no I can’t
Can’t see the ground
Nothing can go my way
Nothing can go my way today
Nothing can go my way
But I’m gonna try today

After sharing such a dark poem yesterday, I wanted something a little more cheerful... or at least one with hope, to share with you today. It is normal for you to have good days and bad days and then those in between days. But sometimes when you have a run of bad days, it can take it's toll. Especially when you are struggling with depression or anxiety. But just like this poem shows us, we can keep pushing through and living. Look at the line in the first paragraph: Except I'm gonna live. Life is powerful. Chose it.
