    Red Lament -

    By Duane G Rollins

    The path forward is never clear

    with supposed friends turning away.

    Where once you were forever sure

    now you are riddled with self-doubt.

    What can you do now

    when nothing makes sense

    your self-confidence gone

    no longer yourself?

    Trite suggestions about moving on

    looking for the positive sign

    and believing that it will get better

    will leave you cold and vaguely sad.

    Those that love you most

    weep at where you are.

    They want to fix it;

    loyal they will remain.

    Can there be light in the darkness?

    To that there can only be hope.

    But there is truth in the clichés.

    There will be brighter days ahead.

    OR

    They said they might struggle and they were right,

    but God Damn It did they have to be this shite!
