(052)▪︎[ All Kinds Of Despair In A Day … 2026 ]

[ Despair ]
[ Sure Can Collapse A Whole Day ]
[ Especially When There Is Zero Hope For Repair ]
[ In Any Way ]

[ A Haze Takes Over The Brain ]
[ Simple Thoughts Become A Strain ]
[ You Feel Like You Are The Lone Passenger On An Amtrack Train ]

[ Going Nowhere Fast ]
[ You Constantly Feel Beat Up ]
[ By The Mistakes From Your Past ]

[ Each One Leaving A Wide Gash On Your Soul ]
[ Leaving You Trying To Pick Up All Of The Broken Puzzle Pieces Of Your Life ]
[ Trying To Cover Your Head Up When You Dropped Into A Bottomless Rabbit Hole ]
[ When You Were Running From All Of The Strife ]

[ That Floats Like Pollution In The Air Out In Society ]
[ You Have Trouble Walking ]
[ Because Of The Gravity ]
[ Of All The Negative Talking ]

[ You Cannot Walk From One Corner To The Next ]
[ Without People Being Angry ]
[ Because They Just Read An Inflammatory Text ]

[ On Their $2000 Apple Phone ]
[ Because They Did Not Like The Tone ]
[ Of A Message They Received ]
[ From A Relative That Does Not Even Live In The Same Time Zone ]

[ You Kind Of Get The Feeling That The Telephone Was Not Invented So Someone That Lives Clear Across The Country Could Reach Out & Grab You By The Throat ]
[ Just Because They Were Given Some Sticky-Note ]
[ Informing Them About From Which Side Of The Aisle You Usually Vote ]

[ Politics Was Not Meant To Be There To Make Threats ]
[ & Those Are Not Made In Jest ]

[ How Do You Ever Rebound ]
[ From A Day That Literally Beat Your Self-Esteem ]
[ Into The Ground ]
[ & Squashed Your Most Important Dream? ]

[ You’ve Found That Real Dreams Really Do Not Come True ]
[ & Most People Who Have Ever Given You Their Word ]
[ Never Follow Through ]

[ Nowadays Another Person Can Shake Your Hand While Looking You Straight In Both Eyes ]
[ While Telling You Some Of The Biggest Lies ]
[ & This Is Not Only Done By The Shadiest Guys ]

[ Often Times The Worst Things Said Or Done To You Are By The Relatives Or People You Grew Up With ]
[ Just Ask Anybody That Has Kept A List ]
[ Of People They Loaned Money To, Then Got Stiffed! ]

[ What You Have Come To Hate ]
[ Is You Had To Wait ]
[ To Learn That Lesson, A Day Too Late ]

[ Because Now You Are More ]
[ Than A Dollar Too Short ]

[ To Pay Your Own Mortgage & Medical Bills ]
[ You Won’t Receive Compensation ]
[ Out Of Anybody’s Wills ]
[ Because You Overheard An Attorney’s Conversation ]

[ You Don’t  Even Know Who You Want To Will Your Possessions To Whenever Your Time Will Come ]
[ By Then Any Of The Benefactors That You Choose ]
[ Will Either Be Too Numb ]
[ To Care ]
[ Or Will Want To Take Off & Run ]
[ Because They Won’t Want To Share ]
