Keeps on Turning

The rain falls gently

upon my face

all I want

is to leave this place

joy and happiness

have fled

even hate and anger

are dead

sorrow and sadness

are all that remains

as I accept another blow

and the accompanying pains

 

Grandma lost to cancer

taking happiness with her

Mom fighting, restless

making joy feel worthless

 

But as the wheel

keeps on turning

I fight the anger

that keeps me worrying
