New life wanted

Hasan Johnson 1980 (Peoria Illinois)

Cinquain
New life wanted
A better one
This a pathetic life
Can’t wait to move on
Drenched in debt
So cold it’s lukewarm
Wish it was different
Don’t even know what better is
Maybe a wife and a house with kids
A job that paid good
Or a body that was desired
My wishes weren’t granted
No magic carpet here
A whole new my ….
Look at the clouds
Sat in the shade
Look at everything God has made

    So aptly put, sickness of the mind, the worse of it's kind.
    Any cure, God is the answer but He won't take away the physical pain when a senior but the mind He can !
