You Made It Through The Day

Sometimes I forget

Just getting out of bed

The little victories

I overcame the dread.

Sometimes I forget

That today I did do well

I had something to eat

The heartache I did quell

Sometimes I remember

When my heart feels grey

That I should be proud

I made it through the day.

Author's Note

Not meant to be a masterpiece, it's just something to cheer me up, I hope it applies to other people too.

Wow. I feel this on a whole new level.
Sometimes even the tiniest things should be celebrated. Getting out of bed, eating something, laughing. They seem minimal to others, but they are important to us.
Thank you for writing this and sharing it. I think I stand for a lot of people when I say that this is what we needed. Look at all these people you have impacted. So many loved your words.
Be proud of yourself.
Be proud of making it through the day.

Simple. Easy. Inspiring. A chant to remind ourselves our story is a book, not a single chapter.

I can't express how brilliant I find this poem to be! How we tend to underestimate our little victories of everyday, and how we need to pause and nourish our selves at times.

The writing is unpretentious and is something that I am sure will touch a chord with every one who reads it.
Well done.

Best, M.

I nice piece... I can definitely relate to it. Sometimes life just sucks and to just make it through another day is an accomplishment in itself. Good write :)

I do understand this poem.
"Sometimes I remember
When my heart feels grey
That I should be proud
I made it through the day."
Surviving a day can be hard work. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I can relate to your words as sometimes, it is hard to pull myself out of bed and its ok if that's my only victory. Or to remember that I made it another day.
