Today I tried
By Myisha Malone-King - Gali Ambassador
Today I tried to do my best
I tried to brush my teeth but that didn’t work out so well
I tried to comb my hair but I used 3 spoons to brush my teeth
You don’t understand how that just drained me
I tried to to shower but I’m so fatigued
Exhausted from trying to do the most simple things
I’m up to 6 spoons and I’m crying to myself
Because trying to be normal requires so much work
I tried to be normal today but I’ve used all my spoons
I’ll try again tomorrow but it won’t be easy
My chronic illness stole so much from me
I won’t let it defeat me too I’ll try again tomorrow for it’s a new day
My spoons will reset to try a new
My spoons is how I can cope with the day
Of having a chronic illness that takes sooo much of me away today I tried and so can you to be the best version of you
