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!
