Better days

 by Topher Kearby

it takes a lot of strength

to pull yourself up when your

bones feel like concrete and 

your blood is slow like syrup.

the world is just heavy sometimes,

and the days show up swinging.

there's nothing much more to do

in those moments than survive.

knowing that you have so many

days still to thrive in life.

so, if you're going through a 

rough patch, the long night has

turned into a difficult week or 

more, know that you're not alone.

give yourself time to heal, and

believe in your heart that there

are so many better days to come.
