Today, A Haiku Story


Today was crappy.
I forgot to pay a bill,
and it made me mad

It just spun me out,
made me feel stupid and old.
My feelings ate me.

I came home and sulked.
Made a YouTube video,
vented to the world.

Afterwards, I hid.
I slid into my bedroom,
feeling poisonous.

I sulked and I stewed.
I played solitaire a lot,
and I watched YouTube.

Then I checked Facebook,
and saw that my day was good,
compared to others.

No one I love died,
I'm not a victim of hate,
and I have my health.

My day was not bad,
compared to some other's days,
because I'm still here.

Perspective is good.
It can be enlightening.
It can be shaming.

My day was not bad.
I forgot to pay a bill.
That's nothing at all.
