Everything!
Expectations anchor me;
Disappointments drag my soul
Through the eviscerating routine.
Life stands upon my neck
Twirling a lasso,
biding its time,
Like a sadistic, fanged hunter!
And I know this:
It’s only going to get worse
Before it gets better.
That sounds disheartening. But that it will get better ultimately is what we have to remember.
That’s exactly the way I’ve been feeling these days. Well written.
Ooh that doesn’t sound good! Please take care of yourself
But the point being, it WILL get better. That’s what pushes us along.
We’re all going through this in some way or the other. I like how your last line still sounds hopeful. There’s a sliver of positivity there 🙂
What a burden to have the whole world weighing on you.
It’s terrible on some days, especially when managing all alone.
Atleast there’s hope of things getting better. This is probably the first dark write up I have read from you. Well written.
True. If there’s one thing, it’s hope ?
The getting worst part before it gets better, is what exhausts me no end! The wait seems endless, at times!
I completely understand. It’s exhausting.
Such different outcomes, though our take on the prompt is very similar!
I am also working it in with my Work in progress and knowing that there’s a silver lining, however faint, does help.
Makes you wonder…..is it always that way?
Good question. Perhaps not. Perhaps just on the days when we feel overwhelmed and unable to bear it all.
