Worst Day Ever?

“Worst Day Ever?” by Chanie Gorkin

Today was the absolute worst day ever

And don’t try to convince me that

There’s something good in every day

Because, when you take a closer look,

This world is a pretty evil place.

Even if

Some goodness does shine through once in a while

Satisfaction and happiness don’t last.

And it’s not true that It’s all in the mind and heart

Because

True happiness can be obtained

Only if one’s surroundings are good

It’s not true that good exists

I’m sure you can agree that

The reality

Creates

My attitude

It’s all beyond my control

And you’ll never in a million years hear me say that

Today was a good day

*Now read from the bottom to the top*

 

Your attitude is all about your perspective. A friend recently sent me this poem and I wanted to share its important message.

 

Chanie wrote this poem for a school assignment when she was 16 years old. Her teacher had asked the class to write about their ‘worst day ever’.
