One Day

There is only one day.
One good day,
among so many bad.
One day,
when you're not feeling hopeless,
not constantly crying,
when you think maybe everything will be alright.
But one careless comment,
one cruel word,
reminds you.
Reminds you that nothing will ever be okay,
that nothing will ever change,
that you are nothing.
One word sends you back.
Back to a place so dark,
you feel you'll never see the light again.
It's back to hopelessness,
back to crying,
to the sad songs,
back to feeling like you didn't deserve the one good day.
