for the first time
in my life
there is no fall back
no pocket to pull from
truly nothing left
I try and try
to remain positive
to pretend to be
scarlett…
“Tomorrow is another day”
but I’m honestly
at my wits end
just how the fuck
am I going to
make it through
this mess
this time?
in spite of feeling
so much better
for the first time
in many years
I’m stymied
I stand to lose
it all
at what price?
I’m afraid.
