Square Penguin in a Round Hole

a short story and artwork by Ernio Hernandez

all artwork by @ernio_art

I don’t always feel like I belong.

When others go left, I often go wrong.

Some days I think maybe I am feared.

But most of the time I think I’m just weird.

I don’t talk very much, if I do I’m shy.

I haven’t many friends, so I’m blue and I cry.

Every once in a while someone will wave at me.

And then I smile for a little and save that glee.

I guess I care to “fit in” down in my soul.

But I’m just a square penguin in a round hole.

If you have noticed a change in your mood or behavior with the end of daylight saving time, check in with a medical professional about seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. Treatment for SAD ranges from slight changes to your everyday — getting out in the sun, staying active, getting good sleep, taking Vitamin D — to more in-depth solutions like talk therapy, light therapy and taking medication.
