Have you ever been?

Too tired to sleep.
Hungry but don't want to eat.
Lonely in a crowded room.
Happy on a day full of gloom.

Rushed when you have nothing but time.
Rich though you don't have a dime.
Speechless but have lots to say.
In the dark in the middle of the day.

Bored when surrounded by excitement.
Not interested when offered enticement.
Sad within a room full of laughter.
Regretful before the morning after.

Cold on a sunny day.
In the middle of a game you don't want to play.
Ready though your not prepared.
Calm even though you are feelin scared.

These contradictions in life aren't easy to recognise.
Sometimes they come as a big surprise.
Your thoughts from when you read my lines,
Should tell you how you'd handle these times.

These thoughts let you know you are still alive.
They stir up the feelings held deep inside.
So before you plan on that long dirt nap,
Look life in the face and give it a slap!
