One day at a time

Some days, the bravest thing I do
Is fold the sheets I’m folded in.
Some days, the bravest word I say
Is “Help!” instead of giving in.

Some days, the kindest thing I do
Is give myself a little break.
Some days, the kindest word I say
Is “Coffee?” to my crying self.

(After Charlie Mackesy)
