Misfortune continues Befalling me Just As soon as I’ve regained Some semblance of trust It will all be ok Maybe finally work out Without dread apprehensions To still think about There is no resting easy Until it’s resolved And of my culpability Hope I’m absolved In the interim thinking it over Too long All the million plus ways It goes awfully wrong Soon enough Like it seems It is meant to prevent me From what pleasant dreams Still remain possibilities Where will life lead? I don’t want to find out Just give up and recede So at least I’d preemptively Cease disappointment Before it eventually Knows no avoidance
