A Little Bit Off Today

Days like this are bound to happen,
Just like your Momma always said.
Maybe that midnight pizza was not
The best idea to come into your head.
Maybe that thing that went snap, crackle, pop
This morning when you first got out of bed
Was an omen of dragons lurking in shadows
Anxiously wanting their famine be fed.

Collision, collusion, confusion abounds
And Murphy’s law seems to apply.
It’s two steps forward, one sideways, one back.
Keep quiet and never ask why.
But giving up is never an option
If you want your piece of the pie.
So, you hold up your head to
Push on through the dread
Refusing to crumble or cry.

And yes,
Things might be a little bit off,
You and fate don’t quite see eye to eye.
But you’ll never know just
How much you might win
Unless you continue to try.
