I don't know

Something different...

I don’t know if it’s the sunshine
Calling me outside
Or the fact that I’m tired

I don’t know if it’s the doctor's appointment 
Or the negative comment
Or the kind message that made me want to try

I don’t know if it’s because my mum’s in town
And I still need her around
Even though I’m 35

I don’t know if it’s all the art I’ve consumed
All the ways I’ve been moved
By all the humans just trying to get by

I don’t know if I’m a special soul
Or nothing special at all
But writing today is hard

And that’s okay

I’ll try again tomorrow.
