Getting By

“Just a day Just an ordinary day Just trying to get by” -Vanessa Carlton Those are the lyrics to a small town girl’s life But the lyrics change And so can life Sometimes things can completely turn around And be great Without even realizing it Sometimes it major And she can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality But life doesn’t always go from normal to great Not in real life She has those times when things don’t improve They worsen And they don’t seem to be looking up anytime soon But, at times like that you learn You learn to appreciate the ordinary days And then the good things, no matter how small or large, seem even better.
