Everyday

Everyday is a little better;

A little brighter;

A little closer to change.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m waiting for something exciting to happen

Like the week before a huge party;

Closing work on Friday; feeling like you’re done with every hard work you would ever do.

But then Sunday night blasts right in;

And you start to feel like you’re dreading something sinister;

Like the Monday of due dates.

Everyday is a little better;

A little brighter;

A little closer to confidence.

Sometimes I feel like my heart will explode;

From all the sureness and certainty I feel;

Like someone who scored and recorded her own Exams.

But then other times, I feel like my heart is crouched at a corner;

Whimpering like a wounded puppy;

Unsure of the pain it feels; unsure of the healing it may receive.

Everyday is a little better;

A little brighter;

A little closer to happiness.

Sometimes I feel like I can infect others with my bubbling joy in me.

Then there’s times I feel like I can affect others with the stewing bitterness in my heart.

Everyday is a little better;

A little brighter

A little closer to change.

Due time is only any time that receives my approval.

So I’ll pick up my pen and impress my signature on ‘Now’

And make Now the Due Time

For Now is the due time for change.
