Turn the Beat Around- NaPoMo- 30 of 30

Today I need to write a happy poem
Enough of the crappy
Sappy stuff
Stuck in a rut
Ruin the routine
Let's smile today
Be brave
And pave the yellow brick road
Up the mountain you're climbing
Find the silver lining of the story
In a starry sky
Life is wonderful
Believe it

730 a.m. NaPoMo 14 of 30

The alarm clock goes off
After yet another night of too little sleep
From deep thoughts to late night chats
Last minute deadlines
And all of that
Hitting the snooze button is her only option
Because the adoption of the habit
Of jumping out of bed like a rabbit
Is not in her DNA damnit.

Over It

Seasons change

Coming and going

As we continue to flip the calendar pages

Stages of life

Ages or periods

Of glee or sorrow

Tomorrow we don't know what awaits us

But I'm hoping for the sun 

To push away those clouds

That have overstayed their welcome for a while now

I need some breathing room

Because this bad luck has taken me in like quicksand

And in the grand scheme of things

This just isn't working for me.
