The sun comes up to start the day
after a cold, long night.
And he wakes up dreading the day
after a cold, long night.

The toaster trembles and shakes.
barely enough to get by.
His sore heart trembles and breaks.
barely enough to get by.

Class today looks ahead to what will happen,
but that doesn't matter now.
Thoughts today look behind for what should have been,
but that doesn't matter now.

Tests come back with poor scores;
next time, he will do better.
Girl left him, wanting more;
next time, he will do better.

The day ends, just as before:
sunshine left his world.
His dreams begin relief, for
sunshine left his world.

This is so powerful, and the message rings of so much truth, at least it does for me.

A great poem. Very strong.

I'm glad it means something to you. I've been paying attention to the boards recently. Just take care of yourself, and don't let what happens here bring you down. I guess I was just trying to express the dual nature of my days sometimes. Take care.

Yes, I understood that, especially upon reading your sub-title.

It can often be the question that never ceases with a need to always be asked.
I hope that made sense to you, as I am, just a wee-bit, tired. Lol.

No, I am ok, for now, and getting better, by the moment.
Thank you for your kind words, support, and for lending to me, the strength I am sometimes in search for, from others, when I can not be strong for myself.

You take care, now, hon.

Good night.
