I so selfishly wanted to wallow <br /> in the aggravating disappointment <br /> Of yet, another, unseen setback... <br /> <br />But what would that accomplish <br /> Other than another slap in the face reminder <br /> That I, alone, am not holding the reins <br /> to my put-on-hold' life <br /> or so it seems... <br /> <br />I want to raise the covers over my head <br /> After letting my dog lick the tears <br /> that fall, from my ' always an optimist' eyes <br /> without any human's notice..and cry <br /> Til I've no choice, but to close my swollen eyes <br /> And sleep well after the alarm clock' s revelry... <br /> <br />But then, I remember I promised myself, <br /> In a time, not long ago, of despairing doubt, <br /> Two days, the allotted time, of feeling left out <br /> Broken winged, and breathlessly bargaining, <br /> Two days, downed and drowning in concussion, <br /> And then I would rally what resources I've stored.. <br /> To once more, make sense of the senseless...<br /><br />Susan Lacovara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-days-4/
