From The Bottom Up

Maybe next time I'll do some reading.

I need a desk to sit at.

Less sugar.

a new job,

more time,

enough money,

a pet,

a reason,

a real vacation,

a better idea,

another chance,

another bottle of wine,

a bit of silence

and some time alone;

then,

maybe,

just maybe,

things will start to look a bit better.

Right now though,

the cloud is too dark to see through

and

what little silver lining I can see

is tarnished.
