Sad Thoughts Creeping In

by Russ Parker

Sad thoughts creeping in.
What’s the point of sleeping in?

Got up and played a happy song, 
Feeling memories of days long gone.

 I’m still the same old positive me.
But the good ship happy is feeling lost at sea.

Today I gave in to some crying.
It was time, I let it loose.
There was no denying.

Sometimes anger and frustration creeps through.
F***in’ diseases, I do hate you. 

I’ll always do my best to be happy and upbeat.
Brain and body strong from my head down to my feet.

But it just seems like today, sadness is the main emotion.
Someone please stop the madness and tame this stormy ocean.

There is still so much to cherish.  You can make today a good one.
Embrace this crazy world.  Shine your light, shine it bright like the sun.

You be my positive light today. I promise mine will make an appearance.
I’ll soar again, when the Dopamine Tower gives me clearance.  

I accept that sometimes sad thoughts creep in.
But I will never, ever let sadness win.
