Tomorrow Will Be Better

 

Today, I:

Ate too many carbs

Drank too much diet lemonade (It’s five calories

A serving!)

Waited for the rain to end

(it never did)

Did not drive anywhere

(anywhere being the drug store)

Waited in shame

For the hours to go by

Waited in shame

To be graced with a poem

Waited in shame

For my period to come

Felt like a bad feminist

Because I had been glad I got married

Before I was 30

You know, the closest I come to listening to Bob Dylan

Is listening to Suzanne Vega and Leonard Cohen

You know, I want this to be about depression

But it’s really about apathy

About being plagued so much

I am forced to have no more fucks to give

And now the rain has stopped

But it’s too late

To drive to the drug store

My waiting is almost over

And I’m already back in my pink
