Hopelessness

Been praying for something

Been wrestling with God but

It’s not happening quickly.

Gone away

Gone away from something

Having to make up for lost

Time by writing a lot so soon.

Illness

He’s always ill in some way

Or another, always sorry

Always in a bad situation.

Nothing good

Nothing good happens, she

Always does what’s wrong

She feels like she’s no good.

Looking sad

Looking sad because it doesn’t

Go as planned, feeling forgotten

Feeling forsaken by him even.

Bad Day Today

It’s not coming on the radio

The radio loops something

Before, it’s not a good day.
