It’s been a long day
[…]
But remember that you have to move on,
somehow.
You just pick your head up
and stare at something beautiful
like the sky or the ocean,
and
you move the hell on.
— James Patterson, Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas.

It’s been a long day
They’ll be days like this” my momma said. When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises. When you try to step out of the phone booth and try to fly, and the very people you want to save, are the ones standing on your cape. When your boots will fill with rain, and you’ll be up to your knees with disappointment. And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say “Thank you”.
~ Sarah Kay, “Point B”

It’s been a long day
And did you rise to what the occasion demanded?
I rose so high,
I left my body.

It’s been a long day
The body shuts down
when it has too much to bear;
goes its own way quietly inside,
waiting for a better time,
leaving you numb and half alive.
~ Jeanette Winterson, from The Passion
