Sometimes, there comes such a time in your life,
When a smile can cost you many emotions.
The clouds of despair hold you in an embrace
And suffocation threatens to engulf you.
You feel trapped in a world of your own making
And you struggle to find an escape, an exit.
Those are the times when you stumble, fumble
And try to find the corners in a circular room.
At moments such as these, at such times of despair
Take a breath, pause a while and just reboot.
Take things one day at a time and slowly & surely
You will renew your strength and ride out the trough.
