Joy.

Some days you wake up
singing
about to
burst from all that joy
swirling inside your chest

Other days you wake up
tell the Lord, "Stay your lane,
each man on his own today"
no joy today
no song

Sadness and discontentment
overwhelm you
Life not going as it ought to
not heading north
not heading nowhere at all

Days like that
remember your singing
remember your dancing
find your joy
dig
fight

'cuz joy
some days
is all you got
