The Negative Hammer

A Poem by Michael Stevens

Just sometimes; life

When it rains, it pours I've heard it be said

Yes, there are days, years, decades where that is so true

Sometimes, you couldn't catch good luck

With a net, or scoop it up in a bucket

Oh, you've tried, but The Negative Hammer

Keeps beating you on the head,

Keeps pounding on your brain

Until you finally give up, you surrender,

You just accept the inevitable, the truth

Now when you wake, you wonder what'll

Happen bad today? If not today, maybe tomorrow?

Ahh, this is brilliant. So relevant to me, as we just discussed in group therapy the negative mindset of depression and anxiety. While I am more the latter than the former, I fight this negative self talk all the time. Great write.
