Unsettled & Down in the Dumps Today -Diary Entry-

Hey y'all, Happy Friday. Or in my case, not so happy Friday. Today was just a down in the dumps, sad for no reason kind of day. I was up all night hopped up on caffeine and then I kind of crashed in the morning. I slept for 3 hours and now here I am. I've just been so out of it today. And then with the news that Trump has coronavirus...it just has me really scared and unsettled. Like, when is this going to stop? How much damage is going to be done? Will life ever be the same again? 

I'm just going to get a good sleep tonight and hope that tomorrow I feel better. This photo (shown above) has inspired me to write a poem, so I'm just going to free flow it out here in this post. Hope you enjoy and I'll talk to y'all tomorrow :)

Waves of Uncertainty

Crashing over my head, doubt encircles me/I open my mouth to scream, ice cold water rushes in and chokes me/ I tread through thick tar and feel my limbs going numb/When will this be over?/Will I have won?/Pressure surrounds me, threatening to mold me anew/Into some strange person I've never seen/And someone who I don't want to be/I summon my strength to raise up my hand/My fingers break through the water, grasping in the Arctic air/Nothing to hold onto and my soul sinks/Down I go, with Death grasping my ankles/My lungs now full of seawater/Blood in my veins now ice/Where will I go now?/What is next?
