An Extra Day

It's not that I'm ungrateful

It's not that I don't care

It's not that I'm unhappy

It's not that I'm not aware

of all the possibilities

of all the responsibilities

of all the useful resources

of all the important choices

It's just that I'm not ready

It's just that I'm so drained

It's just that there's so much to do

It's just so much the same

I don't mean to make complaints

I don't mean to make excuses

I don't mean to sound unappreciative

I don't mean to sound that way

I just need an extra moment

I just need an extra day

I just need an extra minute

I just need an extra day

To fully regain my senses

To fully regain myself

To fully regain my center

To fully regain my mental health

I just need an extra moment

I just need an extra day

I just need an extra minute

I just need an extra day
