A Good Day

A poem reflecting on our journeys in life

I had a good day today

But it doesn’t mean you did

Someone just breathed their last breath

While someone gave birth to a child

I finally felt myself this week

But it doesn’t mean you did

My friend just cried over heart break

While my Uncle cried because he got a job

I felt so very lost this month

But it doesn’t mean you did

I felt a piece of myself dissolve

While you finally felt at peace

This year, I’ve been looking to find myself

But it doesn’t mean you haven’t already

You see, my heart aches

Yet someone just fell in love

But I had a good day again

And I hope you do too

It's certainly been a trying year for everyone, so this was a poem reflecting just that. We all have different journeys in life and a lot of them were redirected toward different paths because of the pandemic. That said, everyone goes through life in their own time, and experiences things at different times. But I do think most people go through good and bad situations--love, heartbreak, a friend or family's death, etc. We simply experience these, sometimes life altering experiences, at different times in our lives.
