Upended

A Poem

Photo by Nine Köpfer on Unsplash

Some days I feel so upended as if someone kicked my legs out and left me to wallow in a puddle

A puddle with a reflection of me, equally upside down, confused as to which way is up and which is down

Upended, like my life in my head because of all the starts and stops and holds and yellow lights

Stuck on pause and extremely wobbly, it’s no wonder I ended up like this Once tall, now small, feet over head

Slide tackled while walking briskly and now my legs ache and my head spins only to realize I haven’t even moved

We have been upended by circumstance and now we have to pick ourselves up and stand tall again, in cautious defiance
