Sail

If you wake up someday and don't feel like yourself,
A little under the weather or maybe unbearably exhausted,
The Sun is too bright and the breeze hurts your eyes,
The mirror doesn't look the same today,
And you hate the clothes you wanted to wear yesterday,
There's a weight over your heart and rocks in your shoes,
Weighing you down, trying to pull you into the ground,
The sound of laughter makes you sick to your stomach
The thoughts in your head are wreaking havoc,
You're not going insane, it's okay to cry,
It's alright if all you want to do today is breathe,
There are no two stars alike, no two flowers with the same petals,
You can try all you want to fit in the mould,
But you are the only one of your kind,
So take a step back, look at the galaxy that exists behind your eyes,
You will find your place here someday,
Until then, it's alright to explore the endless seas,
Sail away, find who you are. And remember, this too shall pass.
