Rough Night

I had a very rough time last night,
couldn't sleep, was very anxious
and then I became down.

Negativity got its hold 
I couldn't seem to shake it.
It was bad all around.

I guess progress is never simple,
rarely proceeds in a straight line;
Two steps forward, one back.

I need to go easy on myself
and I try to remember that,
and not give myself flack.

Today is yet another new day
with brand new opportunities,
I might even excel.

It's time to let go of yesterday,
instead look towards today;
in the present dwell.
