Those Days

Those days

when

you know you are

okay

but you don’t feel

okay

those are the hardest

days

to navigate.

Nothing is wrong

but

everything feels

overwhelming

exhausting

scary

unsettled.

Those days

are the hardest

to just breathe.

Just be…

Just be what?

calm?

relaxed?

grounded?

trusting?

How in the present moment

when there is nothing wrong

can

I exist in a state

of uncomfortable

wobbliness?

Because those days happen!

Because that is the nature of my PTSD.
