The Way It Was Poem by Jessica Stubbs

The way it was
Was never really a way
It was just what I was used
How I got through the day

Now I think too much
And It hurts I must say
Want to just sleep it all away
But it never works

Started to get mad at all the little things
Things that shouldn't matter anyway
But for some reason they do
And it's all coming unglued

Can't piece it back together
It's much too small to tether

And it's been this way for so long
That I can't see it getting better
I swear I'm trying
But the way it was
Was never really a way
Just something to get me through the day
