Yes, Today Has Been Bad
Tomorrow Might Be A Better Day
All the colours in my mind meld into each other,
Every figure, building, and street became a foggy blur,
Mixed into high-burning flames,
A fire that burned higher with a constant
flicker, the dance of stress,
The orange flames crackled like
loud bombs echoing in my head,
Where peace was disturbed,
And silence was broken;
Yes, today has been bad,
However as the noise fades,
A moment of positivity shimmers
through the fire,
Shades of grey mixed in with colour,
Bringing a peaceful smile,
As I sit warming myself in
the brilliant orange dance,
Making me smile in the chaos-cramped
corners of quiet space in my brain,
Letting me know that,
Tomorrow might be a better day.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
