SHOCK.
Sometimes our little world is rocked
and it’s no wonder we get shocked.
It’s like an earthquake in the sea
as shock waves cause the tsunami.
Once it stops you think you’ve coped
or at least that’s what you hoped.
Then suddenly you feel the strain
as those shockwaves come again.
Sometimes a shock can cause distress
and this can put you under stress.
Duress and stress affect the mind
then the world can seem unkind.
Sometimes you feel you’re on your own
whilst straying from your comfort zone.
But others also take a knock
at the time of your own shock.
Some sound advice when you’re in shock
would be to pause and then take stock.
Count your blessings one by one.
think of the good things you have done.
Do make sure you fill your time
or find a ladder you can climb.
For you need to take some action
that will give you a distraction.
It’s times like these you need a friend
when you think your world will end.
Someone who will still be there
when you need someone to care.
It’s hard to cope with sudden change
you suffer shock and things seem strange.
But I can tell by what you say
confidence will return someday.
