    Today I don't smile,

    Today I don't frown.

    I am not happy,

    I am not down.



    Today I just am,

    It's simple, you see.

    I've decided that today,

    I will just be.



    Not a single reaction,

    Or emotion so far.

    Not even when I locked,

    My keys in the car.



    So I set out on my bike,

    Down Center and Main.

    And that's about the time,

    It started to rain.



    Soaked to the bone,

    A sopping wet mess,

    Untidy hair,

    And a new ruined dress.



    No grinning, no grouching,

    No sarcasm or sass.

    When I slipped on the ice,

    And fell on my ass.



    I didn't do the 'pee dance',

    When I really had to go.

    I didn't shout a bad word,

    When I stubbed my big toe.



    This was quite an experience.

    Helped clear my head.

    But next time I try it,

    I'll stay home in bed.

    that's awesome, sometimes you can do nothing more than just deal with it, it reminds me of what my dad use to say, he would tell people he rode his motorcycle rain sleet or snow, and people would often ask him well what do you do when it rains, and he would reply, I get wet,
