Green
Write what comes to mind. Any style you choose is fine.
Green
I wasn't supposed to be
thirty-one, rocking
back and forth, sucking
on the ice cubes in my
Sauvignon Blanc
dreaming of a day
when it would be
sunny, and not raining
pouring, actually,
so I'm drowning
while standing straight up
they say, at least the rain
brings green, and growth
but I'd rather take a
stab wound to where it hurts
than live another rainy day
hoping for a future
I'm promised, but am not living yet,
a futile reassurance
a washed out shade of grey
