Sometimes

Sometimes I think I’m rushing
To move on
Sometimes I think I’m trying too hard
To let go

Sometimes I feel it’s working
And I’m ready to forgive and love
Sometimes I feel a lump in my heart
And it’s filled with resentment and anger

Sometimes I feel like a piece of a paper
Floating into nothingness
Sometimes I feel like the shore
Waves crashing into me

Sometimes I feel as tranquil as the ocean waters
And all around me is quiet
Sometimes I feel like a busy road
All around is noise

Sometimes I think I should stop thinking
For what good is it anyway
Sometimes I think it’s alright
To be unable to unravel this mystery called ‘Life.’

Sometimes I feel I’m doing fine.
Sometimes I know I’m not
Then I hear a voice inside me say, “‘Sometimes’ is a passing phase.
It’s Ok not to be OK, sometimes.”
